The Good Country Index measures what countries contribute to the world outside their own borders, and what they take away: it’s their balance-sheet towards humanity and the planet

This seems insanely biased? Placing e.g. Israel who’s acrively committing war crimes and colonising Palestine above a country that’s just vibing like Timor-Leste?
This reads like a ranking of western-ness, not ‘good’-ness.
Timor-Leste ranks significantly above Isreal in “international peace and security” where Israel ranks 149 out of 174 mostly above places which are in active wars (and also the USA two places below it), and 139 out of 174 on “world order”.
But the ranking also looks at contributions to science, culture and health where Israel does well. That’s not saying they are morally good because if those contributions, but the contributions also do not stop existing because Israel is doing terrible things.
