1. Denmark – 8.2 points
Just like Sweden, Denmark is a Nordic welfare state with most of its services free to the citizens. Expect to pay 72% of your money to the government on the highest income tax bracket. According to Wikipedia Denmark has the world’s highest taxes! When buying a car in Denmark one has to pay 25% VAT to the import price of the vehicle and then a 180% registration tax on top. That means when a car sells for $20 000, you have to pay an additional $45 000 as taxes for the government (total of $65 000). That’s why people in Denmark ride bikes or use one of the best public transport systems in the world. Denmark also has 2 autonomous provinces – the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The latter is over 50 times larger than Denmark but has about 100 times less people.

丹麦 —— 8.2分
正如瑞典一样，丹麦也是一个北欧福利国家，其大部分服务都是免费提供给国民的。丹麦的最高税率为个人收入的72%。维基百科的数据显示，丹麦是世界上税率最高的国家！如果一个人要在丹麦买车，他必须按该车的进口价支付25%的增值税，然后加上最高180%的注册税。也就是说，如果一辆车的价格是20,000美元，你必须额外支付45,000美元的税收给政府（总共65,000美元）。这就是丹麦人骑自行车的原因，也就是丹麦拥有世界上最好的公共交通系统的原因。丹麦也有2个自治区——法罗群岛和格陵兰。格陵兰的面积是丹麦的50倍，但是人口比丹麦少100倍。
