But sure, I'll bite;

Based on Denmark;

Public Healthcare
Consumer Security
Social Welfare for any and all, no-one is homeless unless it's by choice. (Yes, really.)
Better public transportation options
We don't have your propaganda during election time
Guns aren't as big of a problem, due to very low availability. They have become an increasing problem in more recent years, particularly due to refugees from Iraq and Afghanistan.
We don't have the whole "two party political system", our current government is made up of two parties and a support party. This gives us greater political variety, and prevents right/left wing nuts from gaining solitary control and thus preventing massive change after each election. Things do change, but at a much slower pace. (Which is good, in my opinion.)
We have more government oversight of private business.
Hospital care is free for everyone, you get what you need.
You get money "State Educational Support" when you attend higher educational institutions - to ensure that most people have a higher education (Business school, technical school etc.) or College education.

There's probably more, that's just on top of my head.

To answer your question about my location; I'm currently in Kolding in Jutland, pretty close to Odense (Birth place of H.C Andersen) and I'm likely to move to Copenhagen in the near future.
