Brazil pwns all. This is a self-evident truth.

:fluffle::hail:

Oh my. A Brazilian Randist!
Brazil = Brazil, I guess. :rolleyes:

Dude, try a caipirinha, and you'll probably agree. ;)

North Korea,

It's the only country that is neither raping the world nor getting raped by the world.

Yay, NK, the country that's too busy on raping itself.
Meh...

Brazil pwns all. This is a self-evident truth.

Even I don't think so. :p

Even I don't think so. :p

That's because you're modest. Or, you just haven't tried caipirinha. I know you're not a drinker, but caipirinhas are just so tasty... :p

Even I don't think so. :p

Ah, deixa disso. Você sabe que o nosso Brasil não é o que passa no Jornal Nacional todo dia :) Não é perfeito (sou o primeiro a admitir), mas ainda é o país mais abençoado do mundo. :D

I only understood a bit of that. Care to translate, please? :$

Antarctica wins. There aren't enough people there to foul it up. No crime, no war, just the ice, animals, and the poor bastards unlucky enough to be in the research stations.

"Oh, come on. You know our Brazil isn't what's shown in the Jornal Nacional (Main news program) everyday :) It's not perfect (I'm the first to admit it), but it's still the most blessed country in the world. :D"

Vc é brasileiro, Sionis? De onde?

Brazil's one claim to fame is being a exporter of super-hot models.

(Thanks!) Well, I was (kind of) close. :p

Another reason Brazil is the best: You guys had Santa Claus as a head of state. Photographic evidence: Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pedro_II_of_Brazil_-_Brady-Handy.jpg).

Sure! :)

Oh, C'mon. You know our Brazil is not what's on Jornal Nacional* :) It is not perfect (I'm the first to admit it), but still, it is the most blessed country in the World. :D

*("National Journal" - a TV nightly news of the most watched TV conglomerate, which only cares to show a parade of horribles, no matter how hidden they are, and shamelessly ignores all the good things that happen daily - not that I think it is some exclusivity of our country)

Vc é brasileiro, Sionis? De onde?

Manaus, Amazonas, e você? :)

Manaus, Amazonas, e você? :)

Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Cara, vendem Guaraná Baré aí?

Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Cara, vendem Guaraná Baré aí?

LOL, vendem sim, mas eu prefiro Guaraná Antarctica mesmo :P
Ou um suco de açaí, depois da academia.

Mas também tem muito restaurante mineiro aqui, adoro!

(ainda não tinha tc em português aqui pelo NS, muito divertido imaginar o que o povo deve pensar oq estamos falando! rsss)

É que eu já provei, e tava querendo saber se tem como descobrir se tem ALGUM lugar em BH onde vendem. :p

Then again, not all of Canada could be considered "too cold". Vancouver rarely experiences the "true" Canadian winter. They get rain and it hovers around 10C. Cold winter varies. Besides, it's not cold when summer comes. Quite the contrary. Where I am, it gets up to 30C on average, never mind on really bad days. Even northern Canada gets quite warm during the summer.

Psssh. Vancouver's really more part of Washington. :p

I feel I must defend my nation's culture. It's not all fried food, ya know. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_the_United_States)

Haha, poor Emperor... at least this one wasn't decapitated or shot... Brazil is the only country ever on the Americas to have had a home-grown Empire and Emperors... Mexico had one briefly, if I recall well, but was "imported" (nonetheless he loved his country - when he was put to death by firing squad, he last wish was to have a mexican song played to him).

Yeah, that period of Brazilian history has interested me for awhile now. Unfortunately, English-language books on the Empire of Brazil are few and far between. :(

Nepal, because most people who don't live there don't know where it is. also because its up in the mountains.

well that's one of them. switzerland is of course up in the mountains too, plus it has trains.
then there's new zealand, mountains and lots of pretty trees.

but to be perfectly honest, much is i might like to, i haven't been much other then where i grew up in the sierra nevada mountains of california, so i haven't the slightest idea what its like on the ground to live there anyplace outside the u.s. which i'm not really all that impressed by its collective egocentric immodesty of its claims. now if it had the trains of europe and japan, and it wasn't against the building codes enforced by virtually every county in almost every state to live in improvised shelter as my perminent address i MIGHT be a little less critical of it.

so i can only guess what i would consider 'greatest' if i actually had any personal knowledge to go by. (which again i don't)

So, which country is the greatest country on Earth? Overall?

EDIT: And why?

Well, the greatest still seems to be the Russian Federation, with Canada being close second.

In terms of country name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leichtenstein)
In terms of capital city name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovakia)
In terms of pure awesomeness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia)

Dude, try a caipirinha, and you'll probably agree. ;)

Tried. Bleurgh, it's sweet. Gaaaahhh... gimme an extra-dry grappa, I have to clean my mouth!

I'm not very much into hot places with sweet alcohols. Gimme cold, damp climates and dry alcohol.

And I hate samba. Brazil definitely isn't my place.

Greece because it has good food, good weather, decent beaches etc, good women (in some areas)

Either that or Cuba which just needs some money pumped in and castro to calm down a little then it would be an island paradise as it has great parties, friendly people and decent alcohol.

Well, the greatest still seems to be the Russian Federation, with Canada being close second.

I see what you did there.

I see what you did there.

It is kind of a silly question, really.
So I thought I'd better treat it as if it was actually meant seriously ;)

Ah, deixa disso. Você sabe que o nosso Brasil não é o que passa no Jornal Nacional todo dia :) Não é perfeito (sou o primeiro a admitir), mas ainda é o país mais abençoado do mundo. :D

Ah, o brasileiro. Sua linguagem é simplesmente exuberante e musical.:$

i thought it was supposed to be bhutan.

Yes this was my first thought when I saw the title of this thread. Bhutan all the way baby! Bring that trophy home to Thimphu.

The United State of Me.

The United State of Me.
The Solemn State of Meh is far greater. :tongue:

Tried. Bleurgh, it's sweet.

Sweet!? :eek:

The one I tried was very sour. :p

In terms of capital city name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burkina_Faso)

Fixed for accuracy. :D

Seeing as Europe has governments ranging from Communist states, right wing democracies right down to Oligarchies, that means you disagree with pretty much every political ideology. *Asplodes*
we have an anarchist among us?

Dude, you have the best avatar ever.

We've got a few, I think. UvV for one.

You rang?

Myself, Chumblywumbly, Soheran, Trotskylvania, and a few others all hover in that general area. And there's probably a few anarcho-capitalists as well, if you consider them to be anarchists.

Isn't restricting people to a particular economic paradigm un-anarchic? (archic?)

Authoritarian is (I think) the word you're looking for.

Roughly speaking, the problem that many left-anarchists have with anarcho-capitalism is that it basically necessitates order and authority. If there is no government to enforce property rights, the market cannot exist. Even with all the functions of government privatised, it still exists - oppression through a private court system is no better than oppression through a public one. In short, capitalism, requiring private property and thus the state, is incompatible with anarchy.

This is, however, rather a hijack.

Sweet!? :eek:

Don't you ever try grappa, then.

I will give you the seven greatest, in order

1. United States of America
2. New Zealand
3. Australia
4. Ireland
5. Canada
6. Hong Kong
7. Singapore

And why in that order? Hong Kong isn't a country, by the way.

Man, my criteria is very complex. I am a stat geek. Everything from economic freedom to life expectancy and more went into that ranking.

True, Hong Kong is NOT a country, but they are different enough from China for me to count them as a country. And good enough to make my list.

Hungary.

Don't you ever try grappa, then.

Grappa?

Hungary.

Any particular reason? This is not to knock Hungary, of course. I'm just curious.

I will give you the seven greatest, in order

1. Australia
2. New Zealand
3. Germany
4. Canada
5. Monaco
6. Switzerland
7. United States of America

Fixed :p Though really number 2 should be apart of number 1 but then that would mean the country would go backwards for a bit.

The Solemn State of Meh is far greater. :tongue:

Technically both nations are one in the same.

Great job!

several which don't exist yet and possibly, though by no means certainly, and a few which no longer do.

it would by pointless to invent names now for those which don't yet as they probably won't use those names when the do. as for those in the past, well that's almost as much speculation as those in the future.

i like to think the maidu in what is now northern california, long before it was of course, minoen crete, and possibly royal hawaii.

Grappa?

Grappa.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grappa
Expecially Nardini Riserva (45%) and Nardini Alpini, specially produced for the mountain troops (50%).

Australia - fantastic weather, really friendly and welcoming people, a beautiful country, a great way of life and far enough away from the EU, UK and US to avoid all the trouble they cause.

While there are many awesome nations, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, European nations, Japan, Taiwan and others the Greates nation on Earth the USA.

Hey, haven't seen you for a while. Explain why the US is the greatest, then. I admit it's great, but I don't think it's the greatest.

Remember the old saying where at least I know I am free. This land is my land , this land is your land. I agree with you as I stated there are many awesome nations.

Someone who likes me around here, lol.

I think Cuba is the greatest nation on earth.

I also think America is the greatest nation, though I also really enjoy aspects of Switzerland and Germany (to a lesser extent than Switzerland).

Reasons being? It's difficult to say, but probably to do with the nationalism we have for our country, mixed with the idea that government is inherently a necessary obstruction of Freedom, makes for a very refreshing 'we love our country but just keep the government out of my way" feeling. I really like that. :p

Also, this cannot be stressed enough, the opportunity. Hands down the country with the most opportunity anywhere in the world.

I also like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and UK, though New Zealand and Australia more from what I've gathered and learned and from the few friends I have from those places, as I've actually never been there.


Trying to get there one of these days, but I'm usually between Europe and America and it's so far to go to get down under. :p

I think Cuba is the greatest nation on earth.

We (you) should all be so lucky, lol.

As I stated we should all be so lucky to live there as average everyday citizens since we all like it so much, with no overseas family remittances $, lol

CANADA!

I don't think I even need a reason.

CANADA!

I don't think I even need a reason.
How's aboot a reason, eh?

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

CANADA!

I don't think I even need a reason.

As South Park has proven several times, Canada is not the greatest country in the world.

I'll be boring and say the UK, for its wonderful mix of capitalism and communism.
