I am happy with my country and don't envy other nations. But I like the following countries:

-Japan
-Austria
-Denmark

Denmark? DENMARK?! D:< come to Sweden instead, we got much prettier girls ^^

That would be saying something as Danish ladies I have known are quite attractive.

Put me in the Northern Europe group, and no not just for the women (that honestly might be tough for more homely folks like me anyways there) but because of the culture.  I feel like I belong when I've been there more than any place on Earth.  I "get" the people and the way they see society.  I am fine paying higher taxes to have health care and education not constantly be a burden.  Honestly, I think those countries are the ones beside my own (United States) I would die to protect such a way of life.

I agree, some of the types of laws are so intelligent in scandinavian countries.

For example a speeding ticket isn't a set fine in finland. It's actually a fraction of your total annual income. I think a speeding ticket is 0.5% of your income for the first offense within a year, 1% on second, and 2% on third. So someone who makes $100,000 a year gets a $500 fine, where someone who only makes $20,000 a year only pays $100.

Canada is actually very similar to Northern European countries in terms of liberalistic laws and such.
