What do you consider to be the best state of Europe?
Notes:
-all states having land in geographical Europe enter the battle, including Russia, Kazahstan (as it has a little part in Europe), Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia (as it's debatable if it's in Europe or Asia they enter) and Turkey. Anything else further east or in Africa does not enter.
-you can only vote once, and you can't vote for your state where you live (to limit bias), if you think your country is best, chose second best.
-you must say why, even if you write "because it has lots of snow"
-you don't need to have been there, just know something about it
-no nation bashing.
Go!
Voting ends 10 days after this thread started.
Edit: How hard is it to understand you can't vote for country where you live in? If you say "I like X because I live in X" that doesn't fit.
Edit 2:
federated state = something like us states
sovereign state = national state = country
So state means both things.
Plus, I used "state" on purpose because it has both meanings, you'll see why in the final battle of the super-states.
