Not sure why but this is what comes to mind.
1. Because everyone is the best possible person living in the best possible place at the best possible time and everything is getting better every day.
2. I don't always know what I'm talking about but I know I'm right.
3. I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet. -- Rodney Dangerfield
4. The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense.

More of an opinion than anything else, national pride is taught and drilled into the thought process of the very young in every country, not just in the United States. From beginning school with the pledge of allegiance, to the immigration naturalization test, every aspect of our lives enhance and heighten our national pride. It's the same way in every country, thus everyone grows up believing their country to be the best, and can be blind sighted by those beliefs instilled in them from youth.

The mistake you made in your question is that experience is the only way to true knowledge. I for one do belive that America is the best country in the world, though I've never lived anywhere else. But I read books and newspapers. I stay alert, and maintain a global awareness.

when people claim their country is best it is not in comparison with other nations. it is their perception about there own country. the best here is related to the criteria they have made themselves for a best nation and if their country fits in then they call it the best. more so one cannot compare two countries cause any criteria laid down for that may or may not be rated equally in those countries and they differ from person to person.

Many people have lived in other countries, if they haven't, they may have visited them or did research on it.
Also, naturally, everyone loves their homeland, and to them it IS the best country in the world.

How do you know they haven't lived anywhere else? Not to mention that maybe they have done research about other countries.

My country is the best country and I have lived in two others. God bless the USA. There is no place like it, good or bad.

It could be based on reading and watching a lot of publication and documentary vdo and films. More over the judgment may be made out of the people's patriotism.
