Apparently, we're talking about the UN Human Development Index this week... the god's demand it.
So, on the theme of "gawd-damn-it-quit-comparing-Iceland (pop. 300k)-to-the-U.S. (pop. 300m)", here's the HDI by states:
Connecticut would be third on the list, Delaware and Massachusetts seventh and Minnesota tenth. The lowest ranking state is Mississippi and it still ranks higher than European (so it must be better) Romania and Health Care Paradise Cuba.
Here's the data (xls).
