Best Country in Oceania - Ranked by the Community

Oceania might be the world's smallest continental grouping by country count - just 14 sovereign nations - but what it lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in passion, jaw-dropping natural beauty, and the eternal, unresolved Australia vs New Zealand debate. Seriously, bring it up at any dinner table and watch the room divide.

This is the live Oceania country ranking on thebestcountry.net - and it works differently from every expert index you've ever seen. No panels of economists. No composite scores built in a spreadsheet. Here, the people decide. Anyone can back or challenge any Oceanian nation from just $1. The score is simple: backing minus challenges, recalculated in real time, every single vote.
