Norway well qualifies a country that achieves the greatest balance between robust, healthy, competitive economy and a good quality of life and human rights that protect its people.

Explanation:

Norway is one of the Nordic countries, which shares the Nordic welfare model. Powered mainly by natural resources like oil, Norway has a robust market economy. It also enjoyes the status of the country with the third highest GDP per-capita as of 2018.

By sharing the Nordic welfare model, Norway serves as a great example of the universalist welfare state. In such a state the government creates the environment to guarantee both economic and social welfare for its citizens, with extremely high quality of life.

Norway is a highly democratic country that consistently scores either first or at the very top of Human Development Index, Democracy Index, Index of Public Integrity and others. It is also socially very progressive country that has been historically in the vanguard of human rights development, in particular with laws and policies that support with LGBT and women's rights.
