(The Hill) — U.S. News and World Report on Wednesday released its new annual Best Countries rankings, which this year saw Switzerland winning the top ranking and the United States slipping from fourth to fifth place.

Switzerland, which also topped the rankings last year, ranked No. 1 for being “open for business,” and also ranked high for its entrepreneurship, its cultural influence and its overall quality of life.

It was followed in second place by Canada, which moved up a spot; Sweden, which jumped two spots to third place, and Australia, which jumped three spots to fourth place.
