I was reading the Canada thread and why it sucks, and somebody posted America is better but America sucks too. Brits say the UK sucks and it seems like nobody likes where they live. However, some country must be good, or at least sucks the least. Which country is it? Norway? Malaysia? Paraguay?

Im a big fan of Chinese food, and they have some really cool stuff like Kung fu as well. So I guess the best country in the world would be china.

Apparently everywhere sucks OP. There is no escape from the suck.

Canada is beautiful but racist. America has a lot to do but conservative and in decline eating itself alive. Scandinavian countries have good quality of life but not as friendly. China will murder you for sneezing. Russia is historic but you will be a drunk daredevil trying to feel something by putting your life at risk. South America has nature but drugs and you will be killed by drug lord named Pablo funded by the CIA. Australia has beaches but no ozone so you will roast alive.

New Zealand may be ok…if the Maori don’t eat you and poo poo you out to insult you.

it's just a feeling, OP. Sometimes you might be in a country and it's like "Yep, pretty good here" and other times it might be "not sure about this country", and they change given the time and the souls of people. This is why you gotta be careful about the idea of countries OP. A country might have been super cool when you were walking around 3450 years ago and it's like 'you can get grain here no problem' then you come back and it's like 'oh everyone is mad as hell and there's no grain no more', you might not even LIKE grain. truly puzzling. you really got me thinking... Anyway, England is bad.

I would say if I am looking at fundamentals and growth rate - I would be looking at Turkey (the currency crisis will fix itself) Georgia, Mexico, countries not over leveraged with US dollar denominated debt at the government level - but private sector. Take advantage of the dollar loving everyone and go where there is blood on the streets.

actually i think we gotta account countries that no longer exist as much as countries that will... this isn't gonna be easy... and I think you might be right that yugoslavia doesn't rank but like you got a really good point. People love writing alternate history fiction like "what if the nazis won" who cares.... Alternate History Fiction where Yugoslavia is successful and cool.

“Outlaw” Country is p good (Johnny cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, etc.), but I’ve always been partial to Townes Van Zandt and Dwight Yoakam personally.

I do have a soft spot for Big and Rich’s Save a Horse and Ride a Cowboy.

Sturgill Simpson’s last album was nice.
