Nothing to do with ancient history. The correlation is simply that they have similar Government systems
All of the top placed countries are social democracies that have strong social safety nets & health systems (which increase life expectancy), well-funded education systems, high degrees of economic freedom (which boosts total GDP) and highly progressive tax & payment systems (which reduce inequality and boost low and median incomes)
