Interesting stats however reading the site it states the current placing of 5th is actually a drop of 2 places!
Country datasets:New Zealand has moved down two places since 2009 on overall Prosperity to 5th in 2013.
Safety & Security has moved down by eight places to 15th, due to increases in demographic pressures, human emigration and group grievances.
Governance has increased by one place to 2nd, mainly because of an improvement in regulation quality and a decrease in the perception of corruption.

Thank God for all the "human emigration" that plagues New Zealand, otherwise, this forum probably wouldn't exist!
