    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!

    Is that the standard:

    Or is it more of a cultural thing?

    Thanks for proving my point of pornoland.
    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.... ...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.

    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.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Sweden is a pleasant country, but the prices are way too high for my liking, same with Denmark and Norway. Life is just too expensive over there, in my experience people are barely managing.

    Scandinavia.

    They show how societies really should function. Compared to them, the rest of the world behaves like a bunch of monkeys in a cage.

    Norway is the prettiest, Sweden has the fairest women, but Denmark rulez.

    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.

    Unfortunately not. I wouldn't call it hatred, but people here aren't exactly friendly towards them. It's just coded into the English psyche from a young age, it would seem. The Welsh interfere with sheep - end of story. I'm a 3rd Welsh, myself, so I'm not about to agree.
