UK 12th in Prosperity League
Britain has fallen outside of the top ten in a world prosperity index but managed to come second for entrepreneurship and innovation.
The UK came 12th in the Legatum Prosperity Index, which ranks countries based on a combination of economic factors and happiness and quality of life.
Britain managed a respectable but unexciting mid-table finish in a Premier League of the top 20 most prosperous nations, with the top spots dominated by Scandinavian countries.
Finland (1), Sweden (3), Denmark (4) and Norway (5) made up the top five, along with Switzerland (2).
The UK was pushed out of the top ten by New Zealand and Ireland, but came above Germany and France.
Hong Kong (18), Spain (19) and Slovenia (20) found themselves occupying the relegation spots in the prosperity top 20.
