I. Denmark

Denmark is ranked first in the world in terms of law enforcement and discipline with a score of 0.89 for compliance with the rule of law. Although the citizens follow the law, some of the laws there are very different from others.

For example, people should not name a child with a strange and ridiculous name such as Bunga and Berry. The government has several ministries that regulate names for Danish people.

The law requires its citizens to mention children with one of the 700 names that have been previously approved for baby boys and girls.

II. Norway

Having the same score as Denmark, Norway is also the leading country in terms of following the law and discipline and compliance with legal provisions. As with a kind of Danish, they also have several quite different provisions in the country.
