The most utopian country in the world

Introduction: There really is a utopia in the world. This country is only as big as a village, but everyone is a rich man.

No one commits crimes, everyone is a rich man. This kind of living environment is suitable for everyone. We all dream of it, but does this typical utopia really exist? There is really such a country in the world, with a crime rate of almost zero, and a per capita GDP of over 1 million, and everyone is a wealthy person with an annual income of more than one million (RMB). This utopian country is called "Monaco", don't think of it as "Morocco". Although there is only one word difference, the situation between the two is exactly the opposite.

Many people have never heard of Monaco. It is located next to Nice, France. It is a pocket-sized country in Europe with a population of about 40,000. The reason why it is said to be pocket-sized is because its territory is only about 2 square kilometers, which is about the size of our ordinary village of one or two thousand people. In terms of area, Monaco is the second smallest country in the world after the Vatican. But although Monaco is small, it is very wealthy. It can be called the country with the highest per capita GDP in the world. In 2017, the per capita GDP was 168,000 US dollars, far exceeding Switzerland and the United States.

Monaco’s per capita GDP has exceeded US$100,000 for several consecutive years. Many people will be curious, how did such a small country become rich? Rely on tourism, gaming, and finance. Monaco's tourism industry is very developed, and its gaming industry is even more famous. The situation is a bit like our Macau Special Administrative Region. Although it is small in area, with dense buildings, narrow and winding roads, and no large factories or farms, it is very rich. Its per capita GDP is about twice that of Macau, making everyone a wealthy person.

The streets of Monaco are very narrow. Cars are like shuttling in the aisles of buildings. The roads are small and small. The roads are very clean. The luxury cars on the road are like driving a luxury car show. There are majestic cathedrals, magnificent gambling venues, and the famous F1 track. These are not cosmetic projects, but the people here are really wealthy. Basically, each of the 40,000 people living in Monaco has an annual income of more than one million yuan. Some people can't help but ask: Doesn't Monaco have casinos, restaurants, and an F1 track, and the waiters are also paid such a high salary?

That is definitely impossible! Although there is no distinction between high and low occupations, the salary of the position is high and low. Those lower-level positions are generally not held by locals. Most of them are done by people from France, Italy or other countries. There are tens of thousands of foreigners who cross the border to commute to Monaco every day, just like the group of people who work in Hong Kong but live in Shenzhen.

Monaco has a very low crime rate and almost zero criminal cases, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a zero-crime country. The air in Monaco is also very good, because there are no large factories, and polluting factories are not allowed to operate, so it can be regarded as zero pollution. So many people yearn to live here, but to put it bluntly, even if I give you a nationality, you won’t be able to live here!

The reason is very simple. Just look at the large group of people who come to work across the country every day. Prices in Monaco are very high. A bottle of Coke costs 30 yuan, and the most common fast food costs 200 yuan plus service fees. The most important thing is that the house price is as high as 500,000 yuan per square meter. Not only is the house price much higher than in my country, It is also ahead of the United States and Japan by several blocks.

Most of the 40,000 people in Monaco immigrated from abroad. Because Monaco does not levy personal income tax, it has attracted a large number of wealthy people. In addition, the sea view here is beautiful, the air is fresh and pollution-free, and public security is good. It is simply a paradise for rich people. All kinds of luxury cars, yachts, and beautiful women can be seen everywhere, just like an exhibition hall. The poor are out of place in this kind of place and cannot stay at all, so in the end only the wealthy are left. Some netizens joked: This place is specially prepared for Bingbing!

If you travel to Monaco, the Monte Carlo Casino, Monaco Cathedral, and the Prince's Palace of Monaco are must-see attractions. If you arrange your itinerary properly, you can almost visit them in one day.
