As much patriotic argument as you like is allowed in this thread.

Sorry for off-topicness.

Absolutely not! Brazil has the best coffee! Canada has 3

[arcalion]

BUT we are the second, so canada is very nice as colombian ones

[The Dude]

Logical reasons why Poland is the best country in the world:
Polish economy is actually growing while everyone else in Europe's goes down
Poland has a rich history
Poland has badass spec ops
Poland has a cool coat of arms
Poland is an example for Democracy
Poland DOESN'T BETRAY HER ALLIES (*Cough* England *Cough*)
Poland has the best pork in Europe
Poland is home to CIA Black sites Good food
Poland is beautiful
Polish people are nice
Polish people are patriotic
Poland doesn't like Russia Soviet Union

REMOVED FUCKTARD

[Nero]

bad move arcalion.
I won't stick up for Australia, it isn't the best.

Shit history,
Shit military.
Good economy due to having the largest amount of uranium and iron ore and other materials of that nature.
Shit Government.
Even Worse Opposition.
Tiny population (27 million I think).
Mostly desert.
And other bad things.

Arcalion do you want to get banned again?

lol, just for said something bad about poland?? that isnt a topic for defend our countries of another people? explain what i said and i can shut up

[peugeot407]

Let me go through them, okay? Obviously this is just to prove my point as an anglophile that the UK is by far and away the best country in the world.

1. Polish economy is actually growing while everyone else in Europe's goes down
2. Poland has a rich history
3. Poland has badass spec ops
4. Poland has a cool coat of arms
5. Poland is an example for Democracy
6. Poland DOESN'T BETRAY HER ALLIES (*Cough* England *Cough*)
7. Poland has the best pork in Europe
8. Poland is home to good food
9. Poland is beautiful
10. Polish people are nice
11. Polish people are patriotic
12. Poland doesn't like Russia Soviet Union

1. Point taken, but it's no surprise seeing where Poland comes from. I do admire Polish people on this, they're very ambitious and often succesful, but economic growth doesn't say a lot when one's economy is still recovering from communism.
2. Sort of accepted, but so has the UK. And France. And Spain. And Italy. And just about any other European country.
3. What on earth are 'spec ops'???
4. What's not to like about this?

5. I admit the UK isn't the most democratic country in the world, but that doesn't mean Poland is an example. If anything, I'd say Denmark, Sweden and Norway are examples of democracy more than any other country in the world.
6. I still don't know why Eastern European people have this mad idea that the British let them down in WW2. The only reason why London declared war to the Nazis at the time they did was because Germany had invaded Poland, if it wasn't for that they would have waited.
7. Perhaps, but ham is made of pork, and the UK has by far the best ham in the world.
8. Dunno about the Polish cuisine, but I can hardly imagine it beats that of, say, Italy... No real points for the UK here, except of course that I can say that Fish and Chips is the most delicious kind of fastfood in the world.
9. I imagine, but I've never at any point while being in the UK felt like I didn't like my surroundings. Actually quite to the contrary.
10. Polish people are arrogant, mostly. And truth be told, we only tolerate it because they're Polish, in the same way that we tolerate the extreme flamboyance of Italians just because they're Italian. It's just part of our percieved views of those countries, but if I were to behave like a Pole (while obviously not being one) that wouldn't make me very much liked, if you know what I mean.
11. I'd say patriotism is a bad thing, not a good thing.
12. Why is that such a brilliant thing? Russia isn't my favourite country in the world, but it's not as if I hate it.

@Nero Same here

Canada is a lot like that

Boring history
Shit military (damn you Diefenbaker!)
Fragile Economy
Dictatorial Government
Powerless Opposition
Tiny Population (34 million)
Mostly Ice, snow and such

@ arcalion nice what?

1. Point taken, but it's no surprise seeing where Poland comes from. I do admire Polish people on this, they're very ambitious and often succesful, but economic growth doesn't say a lot when one's economy is still recovering from communism.

But it has. Greatly recovered. In fact it has the largest economy for any former communist nation.

2. Sort of accepted, but so has the UK. And France. And Spain. And Italy. And just about any other European country.

Point taken

3. What on earth are 'spec ops'???

Special Operations (SAS, Navy SEALs, GROM, etc.)

4. What's not to like about this?

Eagles look cooler, especially eastern ones.

5. I admit the UK isn't the most democratic country in the world, but that doesn't mean Poland is an example. If anything, I'd say Denmark, Sweden and Norway are examples of democracy more than any other country in the world.

In terms of former Communist nation

6. I still don't know why Eastern European people have this mad idea that the British let them down in WW2. The only reason why London declared war to the Nazis at the time they did was because Germany had invaded Poland, if it wasn't for that they would have waited.

There is a difference between declaring war and actually defending a nation.

7. Perhaps, but ham is made of pork, and the UK has by far the best ham in the world.

Are you kidding me? Polish ham is the best ever!

8. Dunno about the Polish cuisine, but I can hardly imagine it beats that of, say, Italy... No real points for the UK here, except of course that I can say that Fish and Chips is the most delicious kind of fastfood in the world.

Polish food doesn't take a million years to make like Italian food, and it still tastes better.

10. Polish people are arrogant, mostly. And truth be told, we only tolerate it because they're Polish, in the same way that we tolerate the extreme flamboyance of Italians just because they're Italian. It's just part of our percieved views of those countries, but if I were to behave like a Pole (while obviously not being one) that wouldn't make me very much liked, if you know what I mean.

Sure whatever. :lol:

12. Why is that such a brilliant thing? Russia isn't my favourite country in the world, but it's not as if I hate it.

Well it's a blood thirsty crazed nation determined to smash all other nations.

Also Poland invaded Russia THREE times, all three of which where successful! Haha no other nation has ever done that.

[iliander]

What's going on with arcalion? What did he say?

[spangopola]

Viva ROC/Taiwan, for being the only true surviving China who succeeded all Chinese culture (What the communists have is destroyed during the Cultural Revolution).

[AOE_Fan]

Okay, I put my list why Finland is the best country in world!

1. We have lots of lakes with clean, drinkable water, it will be a important thing in future.
2. We have lots of forests, so you don't run out of trees here.
3. We have clearly the best education in the world, no doubt.
4. We have good health care.
5. Because Newsweek said so in 2010. (http://www.newsweek.com/2010/08/15/interactive-infographic-of-the-worlds-best-countries.html)
6. We have a rich history (have you read Kalevala?)
7. We have a democratic government (we got the first women parliamentarian in world, for example)
8. Good military, though we won't need to use it.

1. Canada has much more clean, drinkable water
2. Canada has even more forests
3. I don't know about public education since I go to an Independent School
4. We do/did
5. We're 7th
6.A lot of countries have rich histories, many richer
7.We have a democratic Government (used to)
8.Terrible Military

[spangopola]

The fact that there is no Taiwan makes me doubt the professionalism of Newsweek.

The fact that there isn't Taiwan doesn't make me question Newsweek's professionalism.

3 is your strongest point, and I do really agree with that.

Lol, I remember a couple of years back when they were trying to emulate the Finnish system of education here, and failing horribly. :lol:
Well, at least we're good in the first two points (lots of drinkable water and untamed wilds to the south), but our education is awful (you already should have seen my at least once complaining about it, besides, protest are frequent and prolongated to make our education better here in Chile)
Healthcare's not that bad actually, though one wonders until when it'll last.
Hey, we're just below Poland in that table nice...
Our history's not that bad, for having 200 years at least (we're the only countries in the Americas with it's own epic I believe "La Araucana", so that's quite a merit, all of our founding fathers are betraying bastards though...)
Our goverment nowadays is awful, main problem being that both parties are notoriously bad, so we kind of don't have anyone to look for.
Our military must be good, since our relation with our northern neighbors has never been good, and at the slightest show of weakness, we know they'll try to attack.
In other words, Chile is a great country to live... Inside latin america, but really bad compared to most countries on the far east/western europe. (I still prefer it to USA though)

[General_II]

America is the best country cuz it's where all my favorite games come from.

Except World in Conflict was made in Malmö, Sweden. So I guess Sweden is cool because of Ubi-Massive-Malmö.
