Surprising, I thought the deal with the Nordics was that you trade some income for better social security, but apparently they didn’t (or alternatively they are just that rich, which definitely checks out for Norway). Though it’s a bit unclear how this is counted, as e.g. Germany’s social security isn’t paid via taxes but a system of heavily regulated insurance. Germany’s ranking looks like the people who made these graphs took that into account, though.
Needs PPP correction and adjustment for working hours per year.
