    That is precisely why France is so popular

    Bolivia at number 1 for me. Crossed the border into Chile and immediately felt the cold, snobbish European attitude and the Spanish there is incomprehensible.

    Benefits of 204 Euro per week might have something to do with that!

    As I said, so would I. But as I said, out of the 14 that I listed, my partner is really only interested in 1. She doesn't necessarily have a problem with the people from the others, she just doesn't want to live there.

    I'd have it nearer the top though, but like most of South America I'm only choosing to think of the romantic version.

    D) The Dominions
    Canada
    Australia
    New Zealand

    I'd live in any of them, but my partner is really keen on only one of them so I guess that's my exit plan fixed.

    Also a good choice. I didn't get it in my classification but I rather like it. Bits of it anyway: living in a canalside flat in Utrecht is great, but from the look of things I saw when I got on the wrong train somewhere in the southern area of Amsterdam, not everywhere is so appealing.

    They're not French and the French won't give them handouts but country 25 will, gladly
