Insider Monkey’s Score: 10.67

The Republic of Austria is a landlocked Central European country. It is one of the smaller countries in terms of both area and population. Austria has a $479 billion economy and a GDP per capita of $53,320. Austria has some of the highest cocaine and amphetamine use in the world, ranking fourth and third globally, respectively. The Austrian economy is highly industrialized, relying on exporting significant amounts of cars, metal products, medical products, and car parts to earn foreign exchange. Apart from high drug use, Austria also suffers from a high prevalence of often deadly diseases such as cancer. In fact, alcohol, pollution, and smoking are thought to contribute to a large portion of deaths in Austria – made tragic by the fact that these are all avoidable contributors.
