You think you earn a lot? here is the truth with the.. Welfare Index

Dear Citizens of the New World,

I hereby would like to present a new Index, the Welfare Index, this Index indicates the welfare of the average citizens. If your country has a high index number you can buy enough food to survive and even save a nice amount of money, you can be satisfied. On the other hand if your country does not have a high index number you can barely buy any food, and you will have all reason to be unsatisfied.

I am aware of a little inaccuracy of this index, though it gives a good indication of prices compared to wages.
