I disagree. Mexico and Jamacia, though rich in culture, have very poor living standards for most people, so that has to take away from something

Well I will say this list was mainly based on cultural stuff. I didn't really consider politics and stuff. And I put Italy at the top because it is rich in culture and has good industry and it's in my blood.

this is a rediculous concept.

By that, I mean, picking an absolute top ten countries. It's subjective. If you were specific, you'd have a point. Like top ten coolest countries, or top ten smelliest countries, or top ten you'd like to live in...

Greatest countries in the world...

1. (Tie) U.S.A. (We own you) and Japan (A country that invented Iron Chef gets bonus points).
2. Canada (Hockey is an awesome game, and they're starting to resent Michael Moore for telling them what to do).
3. U.K. (Despite the socialism, nice and generally reliable).
4. Italy (World Pizza Championships and all that Church-sponsored art).
5. Germany (Sausages and yummy Beer, some damn good Mage Knight players too).
6. Israel (Not the "let me help you with your taxes" Jews, these are "Hold my gun while I take a leak" Jews).
7. China (Growing freedoms, great food, Chen Kenichi!)
8. Iceland (Relying totally on green energy takes balls).
9. Russian Federation (Despite Communism and shady deals with Hussein, they invented Vodka, good for them).
10. Jamaica (Marley was a good man).
