According to this article on the BBC, Australia is more developed than the US.

I find that hard to believe.

NEWS FLASH: U.S. Declares War On Norway, Sweden, Canada, Belgium, and Australia

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In a move widely praised by U.S. cultural critics, President Bush today declared war on the five countries that beat it in the quality of life ranking of the U.N.'s recent 12th Annual Human Development Report.

"The war on terrorism is about keeping America great," Bush said in a prepared speech, as American flags waved throughout the audience. "Anyone trying to stunt the greatness of America is a terrorist. By unfairly keeping the United States of America from its God-given #1 position, these countries are giving aid and support to the enemy."

Amid the loud roaring of a standing ovation, Bush shouted defiantly, "We won't rest until we're the best!"

Meanwhile, both houses of Congress finally passed the nation's long-overdue 2002 budget, in which education spending was slashed by 33 percent and Medicaid funding by 11 percent, in anticipation of upcoming deficits and of Bush's executive order authorizing emergency military spending of $234 billion.

Vice President Dick Cheney defended the cuts in a pre-recorded message issued from his underground bunker. "Spending money does not make America great," he said. "It is the spirit of the American people that makes America great. Spending less money on our citizens will just prove our greatness even more. Well, that and turning Norway into a slab of glass. What's up with that International Criminal Court anyway?"
