The Country/COntinet you hail from, and what you like best about it!

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Drat, I though you meant favourite continent - so, as stupid as I am, I accidentally voted for South America, sorry Warluster.

If I had read the question correctly, I would have voted for Europe - I'm English. Europe is reasonably interesting as it's technically speaking "The Old World" with beautiful historical buildings, such as mighty castles containing centuries of Medieval history, and ancient Roman villas, which are not available in North America and some other continents. Europe also has a wide mix of different cultures spread across it - however these cultures are not too different from my own, like in other continents, so it's quite easy to get around in most places without having the locals staring at you for being strange in your actions!

As I have said, I live in England. There isn't much to like about my country, henceforth only the five points, but I'll try my best to expand upon them as I think of more:

1. Quite an interesting history behind it - wars with the Scots, invasions by the Welsh, religious termoile and an attempted invasion by the Spanish.
2. It has plenty of mountainous terrain that is easily accessible. The moors of Yorkshire and the steep and misty mountains of the Northern Highlands. All stunning in character and beauty.
3. Plenty of perfectly quiet and tranquil areas to reside.
4. A large variety of wild life to monitor and observe - I'm a little bit of an armature bird watch myself.
5. Regeneration programs - this could be a good/bad thing - bad if your buying a house, good if you own one/are selling one. My home's value has increased by a reasonably large sum over the past couple of years and is expected to further increase as public amenities continue expanding in my local area.
