I would take any EU country for the following reasons:

  1. Dark history of crimes against humanity and colonialism
  2. Still exploiting a lot of parts of Africa (France in Mali)
  3. Declining standards of living and economies (people in Africa and India are making better salaries than Portugal)
  4. Puppet leaders that receive orders from abroad who don't have the interest of their citizens
  5. More censorship (imagine banning two Latin alphabets Z and V)

I don't think EU is now the worst place on earth but it's getting there and it doesn't look like it can recover.. At least I can see progress in most other parts of the world.

Dark history

You are clearly a horrible racist for using such terminology

Dark history of crimes against humanity and colonialism

It is incredibly ignorant of history to claim Europe has the worst history of "crimes against humanity". The world is a brutal place and any honest assessment of human nature reveals that the darker the skin the more brutal the people.

Declining standards of living and economies (people in Africa and India are making better salaries than Portugal)

The worst country to live in would have no room to decline. This claim is further proven absurd by the fact that people from around the world are dying to get to Europe because it has a much higher standard of living.

The argument that "there is A country in Africa that has a higher average salary than A country in Europe" only proves that europ is so overwhelming better than Africa that it is noteworthy and shocking that such a thing could be true. But the most hilarious thing about this claim is that it isn't even true.

Dark history of crimes against humanity and colonialism

Pretty sure that when Genghis Khan was attacking a city protected by a moat he would just take locals from near by villages, kill them and toss there bodies in the moat until he could form a makeshift bridge of human corpses to cross...
