Germany, Norway and The UK are the only reason why most of Europe survives. Poorer countries like Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, and France joined to strengthen their economies. Germany, Norway and the UK are now the richest countries in the Eurozone. Greece is 43rd, Italy is 8th, France is 6th, Spain is 44th and Turkey isn't worth mentioning although I just did. Norway has a thriving oil industry, cobalt, iron ore and many natural resources, along with being the best place to incorporate. I think those countries only have themselves to blame. :cry2:
What? Norway is not even a member of the European Union. I think you need to check your sources and stop making up rankings:
