You know, for all the flack America gets, its not a bad place to live.

We have the most diverse culture in the world (mostly because we HAVE every culture in the world living within our borders)

We have a population of mostly good people (the radical tea party-ers are really just a small, but very vocal minority)

We invented the telephone and the light bulb.

We make good music (indie music).

We make all the movies.

We get our video games first (usually).

The UK

It's got some areas of outstanding natural beauty. We've invented a lot of stuff, but so has every other nation. After a lot of war and colonising, things seem to have settled down, so its nice and quiet now.

Because we are English Motherfuckers....lol nah im kiddin but we got free healthcare, one of the best trained armed and special forces in the world with Israel and America not that far behind though, was a virtual superpower from the middle ages up til ww2, has created some of the best television shows ever (doctor who, life on mars, etc) and is home to some of the greatest actors ever known, ian mckellen, christopher lee, sean bean, brian cox and sort of peter o'toole.
Mwaha! Sit back as my country continues to steal all of your good TV shows and make them "American". Seriously though, I keep thinking I'm going to get to watch a show on more regularly than on BBC America and then *Poof* It's actually a completely redone show.

Being Human <-- Pretty weak vs. BBC version
Shameless
Skins
The Office <-- I actually really like vs. BBC version

We'd do it with Doctor Who, if we thought we could get away with it.

Also, USA kids, pretty sure we didn't invent the internet. May have made it big, but I want to say it is either from U.K. or the Dutch... (plain old Computer Science history knowledge eludes me).

Well, problem is I am equal part of two countries, and I have citizenship in both. But I'm going to go with the country I reside in, not the one I was born in.

...Well, we invented the Celsius and dynamite. So, you're welcome.
Plus we have a rich history of big tall manly men who people think were berzerking marauders, but in reality were little more than farmers and traders.
Oh, and we used to have some sweet social democracy, and free healthcare to boot.

There's the clincher the uk invented the computer with colossus, the most important piece of technology ever really or at least in the last millenium.

Spain.

I guess it's a great place for tourist to spend the summer. Good beaches, great food and sun. A lot of sun. Actually, we own the sun.
No, really, we do http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/105665-Woman-Claims-to-Own-the-Sun

I'm in a forum thread with people from all over the World chipping in and they're all speaking my language.

Oh, and we also decided that time is centered on us. You gotta respect that.

You fools. The grand United Kingdom is the best place in the world. We may not have invented alot of useful stuff, but by God I challenge you to find funnier people on this planet. God save the Queen.
By funny, I take it you mean stuck up British snobs who think America is the worst place in the world, just because we, in a lot of your people's words, "got our asses kicked by men in straw hats?" (Vietnam War). The only good thing I find about Europe is the three countries I am a descendant of, which is Italy (my favorite), France, and Spain.

I'd love to say America is the best, but we have Obama. :|

EDIT: Therefore, I must go with Italy. Just because of all the awesome places you can see in real life, not just on Assassin's Creed. For examples, the Castel Sant'Angelo, the Vatican, the Pantheon, etc. etc. Oh, and us Roman Catholics have the Pope.

You summed us up to a Tee.

Do i even need to give a reason as to why our country is so great? We drink more tea than the rest of the world in a single day. Put that in your pipe and smoke it...
