    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?

    I cannot put my finger on it now

    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.

    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!

    How shold I know? I've only lived in 3, and visited ....erm.... 8 more.
    My favorite country would be a mix of the southwestern US, german bread and dairy products, dutch drug laws, and norwegian retirement benefits.

    Hey you don't have to study Swiss history. You do not know what 400 years of neutrality does to history.

    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.
