    Best state of Europe?

    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.

    I presume you mean the best country, not state in Europe, because how you put it terribly is akin to asking: whats the best country in America >.>

    Switzerland. Very high standard of living, great climate, low crime, low unemployment, great outdoor environment, easy to travel anywhere from. no one seems to even know about it. doesnt waste its resources or people fighting pointless wars round the world.

    If I had to move out of my country, I'd go to Italy (Florence). It's certainly not the best country of Europe considering its economics or politics, but the culture, food and landscape make up for it.

    No. He really meant state: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_state as opposed to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_state

    And as for the best country in America, I dunno I can't decide between Canada or Brazil.

    Switzerland. Same reasons as above. And because I like Bobsled Roller Coasters, and there's one themed after Switzerland (in Europapark, Rust, Germany).

    Well it depends what you are referring to. England, wales and Scotland are countries, but are part of the United Kingdom. The UK is not a country but a state comprised of those three plus some other odds and ends.

    Why Finland? It's dark and cold. You have to give reasons

    I'll choose Sweden, lots of forests, nice gouvernment, chances to grow, lakes, sea, etc, what's to want more? Maybe sometimes to actually be able to bathe in the sea, but still.

    Well it's also light and warm. The sun may not come up much in winter, but it barely goes down in the summer. Heh I have my first full winter to get through yet though, so ask me again in a few months!

    Probably Germany is the best state in Europe.

    I'm from Belgium and really like it here, though the law and political system has completely gone to shit (yesterday the wife of Dutroux, the child abductor and molester, was released after just 16 year of imprisonment, what did she do you ask? Locked children up in her garage and let the starve to death... Her dogs were in better shape than those poor kids). Best country, I'd have to say Republic of Ireland, a Scandinavian country or Switzerland or Austria. I love nature and to have long hiking trips in them, so those countries are obvious choices. Also, the life standard and quality seems to be rather high there (not saying it's low here, don't get me wrong), it just seems very pleasant to live there.
    I know I have to pick one though, so I'd say Sweden. (inbe4 Swedish chicks!)
