I'm from Germany, and no, it's not my favourite country. (I think I'm obligated by law to say this and think this way. At least you get the impression when you've been educated in school here. "Germany has done VERY BAD THINGS and we are VERY TOLERANT now. Apologize to everyone!")
I personally prefer the Netherlands because people aren't as stuck up and whiny as they are here. Switzerland has the most beautiful landscape. I lived in the USA for a year and you would probably have to pay me a lot of money to get me to go back there.
For all the National Parks they have there, I love the different cultures and landscapes of Europe. And yeah, the American's smug sense of superiority really sucks.
Here some humorous answers you should always have in store for Americans if you're German:
(Sorry, I know not all of you are like that, but the stupidity I've come across... argh! It hurts the brain!)
"Do you have, like, cars in Germany?"
"Funny you should ask, I think the gasoline engine actually was invented in Germany and I'm told that some German companies build a rather fine automobile. Like Volkswagen, Porsche, BMW or Mercedes?"
"Do you have, like, newspapers in Germany?"
"Does the name Gutenberg mean anything to you?"
"Isn't Austria a part of Germany?"
"That's what Hitler thought, too."
"How did you get here? Did you come by ship?"
"...you probably think we started two world wars with swords and trebuchets, right?"
(The original conversation went like this: Some guy: "Did you come by ship?" Me: "No, by plane, of course." Guy:"Oh, so you already have those in Europe?" Me:
)

Born and grew up in Italy, currently living in Iran.
I liked Italy much, much better. Actually I really hate it here, and if it wasn't for the obligatory military service for all boys +18, I would have left a long time ago. Am going to serve in a month or two and then the plan is to leave.

Well that and I despise most other country's to such point I've not really got any other decent choices of good English speaking country's.

Wales, easily the best country going.
I don't know I just really love the countryside here and the fact that it is small makes me feel pride. I also love the banter with English people.
Oh and by the way everyone has to learn that Wales is not just 'part of England' to me that is like saying the U.S.A is just 'South Canada' or 'North Mexico. I know its nit the same but that's what it feels like.
Yeah Cymru am byth
