(Graham Hughes / THE  CANADIAN PRESS)                    A new ranking has named Norway the most prosperous country in the world  for the quality of its healthcare system, civil liberties and social  fabric, while Canada has come out on top as being the most tolerant.       After measuring 142 countries across eight categories, the 2015  Prosperity Index put Norway at the top of the heap, followed by  Switzerland and Denmark. In fact, Nordic and Scandinavian countries  dominate the top 10 list, taking up half the spots.       For the index, analysts at the London-based think tank and charity, <a href="http://www.li.com/events/launch-of-the-2015-legatum-prosperity-index" target="_blank">the Legatum Institute, ranked countries</a>  based on their economy, entrepreneurship and opportunity, governance,  education, health, safety and security, personal freedom and social  capital.       A scan of the top-10 list shows that the most prosperous countries --  measured by income and quality of life -- are found largely in the West,  with the conspicuous absence of countries from Asia, Latin America, the  Middle East or Africa.        Land of the free       Canada also stood out this year for being the “freest country in the  world” with its tolerance of immigrants, minorities, freedom of  expression and beliefs.       In fact, an overwhelming percentage of Canadians -- 92 per cent --  agreed that their country is a good place for immigrants, and another 94  per cent said they believe that they have the freedom to choose the  course of their own lives.       Analysts also noted that Indonesia has become the fastest-rising  country on the index, driven by a vibrant economy, easier internet  access and improved living standards. The emerging country rose 21  places on the index over the last seven years.       As for the US, the country earned the dubious distinction of being the  only Western country to register high levels of “state-sponsored  political violence.” The events of the past year -- the Baltimore  protests and Ferguson unrest -- pushed the country down to 33rd spot in  the safety and security sub-category, making it comparable to Venezuela,  the Dominican Republic and El Salvador.       Here are the top 10 most prosperous countries according to the Legatum Institute:       1. Norway       2. Switzerland       3. Denmark       4. New Zealand       5. Sweden       6. Canada       7. Australia       8. Netherlands       9. Finland       10.
