The Country
Australia ranks as one of the best countries to live in the world by international comparisons of wealth, education, health and quality of life. The sixth-largest country by land mass, its population is comparatively small with most people living around the eastern and south-eastern coastlines. In fact, Australia is one of the most urbanized nations with over 90% of its population living in urban centers and occupying a mere 0.22% of the country’s land area.
Australia is also a very wealthy country — it had a GDP of A$1.69 trillion [or US$1.2 trillion]
