It seems that, so far, most of the people prefer Sweden, Switzerland, and Austria to Portugal, Belgium, and Greece. What might have led them to love the former 3 than the latter 3? And among the latter 3, Belgium is the most preferred to Portugal and/or Greece. What could be the reason for that?

[Sen]

lol you know the reason why are you asking...

but for me i prefer larger countries over tiny countries, that's why i put switzerland and belgium at the bottom of the list.

I frankly don't know. I thought it may be economical... but it seems that Swiss is the only one that is economically far superior than others. But Switzerland is not that popular. And aren't others (except Swiss) generally at the same level of economy with GDP around 20,000~30,000?

[DnH]

1. Portugal
2. Greece
3. Sweden
4. Austria
5. Belgium
6. Switzerland

My list

i prefer warm weather first of all.. thats what i put first..
none of the countries are in the third world, so theres not a VERY big difference when it comes to standars of living.. although switzerland, belgium austria and sweden are ahead of the souther countries of greece and portugal in one way.

But if Sweden and Austria were as exotic when it comes to the weather, i would put them first on my list.

Heh, I put Portugal and Greece last for exactly the opposite reason. I can't stand that kind of warm weather. Belgium I prefer more for it's central role in EU.

Swizerland, Austria and Sweden are all great and imo very interesting coutries - it wasn't easy ranking them. This time Swizerland got the first place from me because I was born there and because my family, from my fathers side, originates over 200 years back from there - it's just closer to my heart.

More into northern countries i guess. Portugal and Greece are too "messy" to my preference. I like orderly countries like Sweden and Switzerland. And I put Belgium second, because those are our beloved southern neighbours, and they have great beers!

[marathon]

What about Hungary, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Belarus, and Serbia & Montenegro? They have between 7 and 11 million people as well...

Yeah, I agree with you.

Oh really? I thought they were the countries with pops below 5 mil. Ah... I will remake the thread in the future, when I make one for 5mil-size countries.
