Official Site - The Legatum Prosperity Index is the world's only global assessment of wealth and wellbeing; unlike other studies that rank countries by actual levels of wealth, life satisfaction or development, the Prosperity Index produces rankings based upon the very foundations of prosperity – those factors that help drive economic growth and produce happy citizens over the long term.

The 10 countries in the world with more than 125 million people apiece deal with challenges to sustainable prosperity that are less significant in smaller countries. Only one nation in this group, the United States, also ranks among the top 10 countries in the Prosperity Index.
