Ireland! High (est) birth rate and good economy mean they'll still be there when London is officially renamed Londonstan.

Plus, my ancesters came from there.

I voted Gah!
None of them qualifies as a single nation.

GB is nice, rather powerful, cool language, but making bad wars, getting votes from warmongers here and no option for me.

Spain is nice, I like especially the character of all spanish women I know(ok, can think of only two now).

Germany is pwn, but from Wilhelm II on there have been few if any really competent rulers, doesn´t qualify.

Netherlands aka Dutchiestan is my dad´s homecountry, some nice people, some strange guys, all in all, doesn´t qualify.

Sweden, nice women, nice attitude, but too liberal for my taste.

Czech Republic aka pornoland qualifies for fun factor, but that doesn´t make it great.

Don´t really know about the rest, so I´m left with Gah!

I think it's only fair to vote for places I've actually been. Ireland, Spain & England are all up there too. But Oulu is one of my most favorite places in the world.

There's not much of Europe that I don't like. I learned to keep very quiet and affect a Latin American accent while in Netherlands, and I was rather nervous about my personal safety while in Milan (the only part of Italy I've been to, and from what I know, it's very different than the rest of Italy). But other than the lack of friendliness of the locals, they had their redeeming qualities.

Come to think of it, I'm the Will Rogers of geography... I've never been to a place that I don't like. I even like New Jersey. :oops:

I would have to say UK,

I must admit I'm quite ignorant to the EU system. From what I've understood the EU is basicly a federal government of the signed countries? Do the countries remain sovereign?

Also the UK losing her money is quite sad. The pound and the smaller coins were quite beautiful. Personally like the look of alot of the old British imperial coins. Quite sad they switch to the idiotic Euro.

Confederal, actually. Each country is sovereign, it just transfers some of it's power to the central EU goverment.

That said, Ireland. Liked it quite well when I was there. and it is also a shining beacon of hope for countries in transition and third-world countries ... or something like that.

Omigod, run and hide!!! :hide:

Ok, only teasing. It's just that the alleged desire of the EU to become a federation of states is extremely contentious in many countries - France and Germany were moving the EU in that direction, but have rather gone off the idea, the UK was very, very strongly against and still is. The EU Commission (the non-elected governing body for the EU made up of appointed ex-ministers from all countries) is still thought to be working towards such a project.

The EU is not even a confederation at this stage, just a loose alliance of countries bound together by treaties and common aims, mainly economically based. A proposed constitution for the grouping, which would have rationalised and codified the pre-existing treaties was rejected in referenda in several key countries, notably France (a big political player in the EU project) which should have killed it stone dead. As always with politicians however, a little thing like popular rejection has only made them more determined to sneak it through.

All the countries in the EU are sovereign states, but have assigned some element of that sovereignty to the EU - each country to a greater or lesser degree. Yes, it's complicated ~D

In a nutshell, the EU doesn't know what it wants to be, and every nation in it has a different idea, apart from the belief that they should be top dog. :wall: At least we're not shooting at one another anymore.


Also the UK losing her money is quite sad. The pound and the smaller coins were quite beautiful. Personally like the look of alot of the old British imperial coins. Quite sad they switch to the idiotic Euro.

You'll be glad to know that the pound sterling is still in existence and used. The UK rejected the euro - so far, which has preserved it from the weak economic performance of the euro-zone. The Brits did change their old imperial coins and notes in 1971 to a decimal system, but this is still pounds and pence - just no shillings. ~:)

:laugh4: Thanks for proving my point of pornoland.:laugh4:
Been to Prague myself, it´s nice, all the buildings and so on, but it was also pornoland, judging by what the taxidriver had in his car, by the guy who made a pic of a girl´s behind in the underground and all those strange people standing around in some parts of the city, oh and it was the first and only city where I ever walked by some prostitutes(I know they exist everywhere, but this was the only city where I ever got close to some that were "working").
Was a funny trip indeed, but doesn´t qualify for me.

Oh, concerning the prices, generally yes, but we were in a restaurant next to this big castle(forgot the name) and it was really expensive there, I payed 8 Euros for a small rumpsteak(I think) with some egg...

Let's see.....

Greece is nice and hot, and cheap if you get away from the tourist areas.

Italy is like Greece but not as safe, (not just Milan Don, I was advised not to sleep in my vehicle when travelling through), plus it's in the 1st world. :2thumbsup:

San Marino not in the EU, but you have to admire such a small country (3rd smallest in the world) for keeping independence from Italy. And I got the chance to cross the Rubicon. :inquisitive:

Switzerland, again not in the EU but very clean and dapper. Plus the Swiss seem more laid back than their more northerly neighbours. Downside; they make you pay a full years vehicle tax even though you are only passing through.

France Like Italy can be expensive to travel through, if you use the toll roads. I dont and so get to see areas of rural France which is very beautiful. It reminds me of the Yorkshire Dales in places only much sunnier. :laugh4:

Luxembourg Lots of rolling hills and lots of trees, I tend to slip into 5th gear and put my foot down. :embarassed:

Belgium Flatter than Luxembourg and with cities. Antwerp is a bit of a hole, but it gets extra points for having women sat in their bungalows with a red light on the porch....:2thumbsup: ...Oh and the beers not bad either.

Netherlands I liked this country, a lot. Nice people, good beer and food not too dissimilar to the UK. You have to have a spliff as well, it's the law. :sweatdrop:

UK As a northener I look at the south and north as almost different countries. London is a ********, so I only go there when I have no choice. However in the north we have the most beautiful countryside and best quality of life.

My choice?

Switzerland and the Netherlands tie.

The Netherlands would win hands down if it was a bit further south and hence warmer. :2thumbsup:

It is expensive, but wages are comparable. We are more than managing. The growth of personal spending has soared the last 15 years. Every christmas it is another shock as to how much is spent. Even the 'poor' have internet, cellphones and often a car.

That is hardly 'barely managing'. And last year the government 'discovered' a surplus on the budget of just above 10%... That is a great deal!

I have family in Denmark, I visit your country quite a lot. The wages are about the same as here in Holland, IT-business being somewhat better. Almost every family in Denmark has both parents working, and that is not progressive but a necesity. The houses are pretty cheap though, lots of space, but oh boy the groceries, and going to restaurants (which I like to do at least twice a week) is madness. 40 euro for a plain pizza yay :laugh4: But having said that, Kopenhagen is great just for having Tivoli, awesome place.

Especially since all their cows went mad.
But if they've never tasted mussels, on the Grand Place
down in Brussels,

I'm a Belgian, I'm not Irish, I'm not Greek,
I don't drink Guinness or Retsina, I drink Kriek!
On the Schelde or the Meuse, you find me drinking Geuze,
Or Leffe, or Chimay, or Lambic!

40 Euro??? Where do you go? I hardly ever pay more than 5.5 euro for a plain pizza, most often cheaper. 40 euros for a single person is considered an expensive night out, and I tell you that you can get fod and drinks for less than that in the vast majority of restaurents in Copenhagen. Maybe you shouldn't be going to D'angleterre or some other posh place...
Houses are not cheap... Apartments in Copenhagen have just been announced to some of the most expensive in Europe. Of course it is cheaper in Jutland or in the country but it is like that everywhere.
A lot of room? Hah! I think the apartment I share with my GF is nice, but it certainly not big. 57 square meters.

We do all work, but not because we absolutely have to, not everybody. But we are inticed to do so, but it i like this in most of Europe now. We (as in both parents) get a year off from the job to take care of the newborn child, and most often you can get it extended.

Groceries are expensive, that is true, but at least they are more expensive in Swden and Norway.~:rolleyes: ~;)

I don't mind London, and don't have anything against the South in general.. but it's that attitude (even though you're joking) that really gets up my arse. Everywhere in the UK outside of the South East is basically a bunch of hilly fields populated by neanderthals. The problem is that isn't acctually an uncommon view.. every time I go down there and someone hears my accent I get the same bullshit. At least I'm not Welsh.. poor sods. Not that I'm fit to complain though, I can often be just as biggotted and I know I'm not alone in that.

40 euro's!? To me 10 euro's is already expensive! Hell before the euro paying for a pizza was usually between 8-15 gulden (guilders). Also, I still find going out to a restaurant expensive. I'll settle for the occasional visit. So if it's really that expensive in Denmark..yikes..!

its gotta be the UK for so many reasons

look at it on a map its bloddy tiny, France, Spain, Germany are all loads bigger but non of their empires were ever as big and powerful as the British Empire.

Hitler thought that he could capture england, he had most of europe but we stopped him, this tiny isle!

in the georgan period at one time we were at war with every country in europe except portugal (and they didn't like us much either)

In the 100 years war, we took huge areas in france

and we have only a few hundred thousand less people then france! (and about 20 million more then spain!)

']40 euro's!? To me 10 euro's is already expensive! Hell before the euro paying for a pizza was usually between 8-15 gulden (guilders). Also, I still find going out to a restaurant expensive. I'll settle for the occasional visit. So if it's really that expensive in Denmark..yikes..!


Well this was on the ferry to Sweden, may have added a bit :laugh4: But those scandinavians here saying that 5 euro for a pizza is a lot in Blondistan, get real! I am not talking about the pizzahut here, but real restaurants with actual food, the prices are insane.

@Don Corleone, americans tend to have a harder time in Amsterdam, or really just about everyone that can spell capitalism correctly and likes to shower on daily bases.

Ferry prices are always high... Can't get around that, but I can't believe that even there it would be 300kr for a pizza.

As I said, that is fairly much for even real restaurents.
I have a nice special place, that is located in a very expensive place (next to Tivoli's main entrance on a busy road). It specializes in steaks, and I mean it. Those steaks are just the best there is! name: A Hereford's Beefstouw. Supreme. When I go there I spend 250kr (33 euro) on the steak and a few more on a beer (from the little specialist brewery next door). The beer is specifically made for steaks, so it is a perfect combo.
I love the place. And I can safely tell you that it is not a cheap place, it is considered quite expensive.

So perhaps you should get real. Or perhaps not get ripped off next time.

the little specialist brewery next door.Tivoli, Apollo pilsner og en sod Dansk pige! :jumping:

That trio still ranks as one of my best days ever. I don't care about Danish rip-off prices, I would've paid ten times the amount.:balloon2:
