Romania, definitely.


The climate, the nature (I'd say is the only country with real nature in Europe), the cultural diversity, the eoconmy. Any other European country (Eastern and Western) is a worse choice in a bigger or smaller measure, either by the cold / cloudy weather, or by immigrant deluge, poverty, landlocking or other aspects.

Next will be, in order, Greece, Turkey, Italy.

1.Romania only country with real nature in Europe? Norway, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Austria etc. etc. are not in Europe anymore?

2.Poverty? Romania GDP per capita is almost 50% lower compared to Portugal (poorest country in West Europe)

3.Italy is Western European and Turkey is NOT European.

I mean natural ecosystems. Yes, Scandinavia has valuable natural ecosystems, but mostly in its flat areas. Romania has real mountain jungle, both temperate and sub-Mediterranean. See my photo thread.

I didn't say Romanian economy is superior to one of Western or Central Europe countries. I said is good. GDP per capita is low because 45% of Romanians are peasants (live in rural area) but their life level (I mean, of these peasants) is higher than most of Europeans because of health of nature and beauty of landscapes they live in.

You too refered to Portugal. I compared Romania with all European countries, not only Eastern ones.

Turkey is in Europe, this is why there is a plan to accept it in EU. Look on map, Istanbul is in Europe.
