Greatest Country in the World

Post whatever you think the greatest modern day country in the world is and state your reasons why.

I say Scotland because it had the greatest warriors ever in the Caledonians, one of the few peoples to totally resist the Romans. Also invented TV, telephone, steam train, radar, golf, football and whisky.

Please be positive only. No politics or flamming.

No moving if this gets nasty. Only closing.

Golf? Golf? why would anybody be happy if somebody invented golf? ;) only joking! hmmm how would you define the greatest country? obvioudly people are gonna say the country they live in so why not put down list of reasons why a country (in general) is great?

These cant go well....Perhaps it should be ' other than your own'

I ll go for Norway because basically their government makes more money than it can spend and gives 'an excesive amount of it' of it for aid.

AMERICA OF COURSE!

Reasons, well those are obious

I'd say Switzerland, they are they guys who back off from every fight and have stayed neutral for a hundred years or so...they even had the second world war, but they just wnt on skiing and eating swiss rolls. I also like the fact that, they maybe neutral, but they have one of the best trained armed forces in the world just for defence!

Switzerland. The government works perfectly, it's one of the oldest countries in europe, everyone is rich as hell and they have produced the world's best tennis player.

Well, there's considerable disagreement about the telephone and TV. Americans played huge roles in the development of both, and its inaccurate to say that the Scots invented them.

and it takes an Irishman to play the pipes
