Estonia. They have a nearly 100% digital infastructure. All citizens are in control of their data. Government departments can only look at data pertaining to their department. If they look at anything else, the citizen is notified and the government employee has to explain why they looked at that data.
I’ve never been to Estonia so I can’t say the country is one of my favourites but, as a person who has a great interest in protecting myself online, it’s an attractive place.
I’ve been to 26 countries so far and really can’t say what my favorites were.
My least favorite was the US.
But it has to mentioned, I lived in northern Wisconsin without a car or driver’s license.
The nearest grocery store was a Walmart 25 miles away.
The only people my age within cycling distance were hardcore drug addicts and also gun nuts.
Their idea of a fun prank was shoving an unloaded shotgun into my face and pulling the trigger.
The only place to go out at all was a bar. People drove there with their trucks, got drunk, and drove back home.That is NOT the typical experience in the US
In certain parts of Wisconsin, yes, but not the rest of the US.
Gun nuts are everywhere in the us, a lot worser could happen to you in any state and its one of the reasons I’m glad I don’t live there and glad I wasn’t born there
OK.
As someone who has lived in multiple states I can confidently say that your preconceived notions about our country are not based on reality.
Why would you respond to this post with a comment of the opposite information than the post topic is about? You are the only person in this thread with experience in numerous other countries and instead to use the comment to shit on the country everyone shits on. Lol if this was the sat essay question you’d fail the fuck out of it.
This isn’t an SAT question, though.
I grew up near this part of the US and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone visiting from abroad. 😂
Tourism-wise:
Took a trip through Europe ended up doubling our time in Netherlands because everyone was so nice there. It probably didn’t hurt that we just spent a few nights in France.
Switzerland is beautiful.
I found Germany relatively pleasant.
Ask me again November 6th. If the rapist /felon wins, it will not be here. 🇺🇸
Do you have your plans in order to get the fuck out of america if things go badly, this comment is a reminder to make sure you do
Also have alternative means of transport out of the country as well as routes that don’t get much activity just incase orange fucker prevents people from leaving if he gets I’m which I hope he doesn’t
Good luck from Australia
Finland, Iceland, New Zealand
Antarctica
Lol not a country homie. That’s a continent.
The one I live in: Finland
The only thing I don’t like is the short summer and long winter but I try and convince myself that it’s the 4 distinctive seasons and the shitty winter that makes me truly appreciate summer. It’s also good for the human character which probably partly explains why we’ve been voted the happiest country in the world who knows how many years in a row. It may be less true now but it’s still in our genes; in the past you better be nice to your neighbour because once the winter comes and food runs out, your life may depend on them.
Almost ever central/northern european country, including Switzerland.
Norway and Japan for me :)
I have a soft spot for New Zealand, even though they seem to have transitioned from mostly sheep to more cows. They’ve made peace with their indigenous people (looking at you…. …. …everybody else), and they have a quiet pride and haven’t sucked the soul out of their country just yet.
Kraut’s vid on Estonia’s digital state program looks amazing to me and I wamt it
I’ve watched TheHatedOne’s video on Estonia. Is the Kraut video on Youtube? Found it.
My favourite countries are
-
Japan.
I like the feel of the country, its culture, the food, enjoy learning Japanese language -
United Kingdom.
I like the feel of the country and architecture / interior design
Countries I find boring
- Australia (I live here)
Countries I hate and would never step foot in because I value my life and freedom
- united states of america
- north korea
- russia
- china
Sorry to hear that you hate America. I get it though as an American.
I visited Australia with my family this summer/your winter and it was fantastic. I loved everything there! We were in Sydney and then Trinity Beach. Even Sydney was so clean compared to our big cities here. I loved the ability to cut power to the sockets and how everything was recyclable. I’d love to live in Australia if I could, but at least I got to experience some of its charm!
-
Mexico, Italy, Norway, Greece, Australia, and Kenya
What an odd question. I guess I never ranked them before.
Honestly they are all sorta disapointing. The direction of the world just saddens me.
What did you not like in all of them?
I just see to much nationalism and authoritarianism seem to be taking hold along with us style conservatism. As someone form the US it was a hope we could get more like canada/australia/europe but it feels more like we are pulling them in our direction. Then of course there is pollution and global warming and we still have folks in every country trying to fight it. As if they deep down known the truth but desperately want to get what they can now and bury their head in the sand. I mean even if we somehow mitigated climate change we have folks who think underpopulation is a problem. In an age where staples like ocean caught fish (mercury) and brown rice (arsenic), oats (chlormequat ), wheat (chlormequat ) are avoided do to poisons in them.
