    How is Italy in there? Being from Europe I genuinely don’t consider Italy a thriving economy at all. I’d figure a Scandinavian country or the Netherlands should be doing better.

      Italy’s manufacturing sector is pretty huge. Fiat, Leonardo, and Fincantieri are all global heavyweghts. Although I’d imagine being one of the world’s top tourist destinations and also having a reputation for both excellent food and prestigious luxury goods doesn’t hurt.

      It does also just have more people than Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands combined
