Got to be the US hands down. The whole attitudes to race and sexuality in the other countries are way behind the times.
???
I think there is a more " live and let live " attitude in Canada, than in the US. Of course it depends where you are, but overall, Canadians are very liberal and accepting.
Friendliness: most people I meet in the streets are good, so no opinion on this.
Location: The USA, sandwiched between China and Japan in the Pacific. Europe in the Atlantic. Prosperous Canada + wild Russia in the north and fun, cheap, cheap labor Mexico in the south...lol
Lifestyle: the US is that big that can acomodate all lifestyles available.
Weather: the US again is huge and both closer to the North Pole as well to the equator line.
Nightlife: I don't know and really don't care to find out.
Tourist attractions: the US would be my bet.
Economic diversity: no idea but the US prints money and voila, problem solved. (For them anyway)
Cultural contribution: out of the four the UK wins no doubt about it.
Urban living: No idea.
History: Aren't all intertwined with the UK?
Architecture: All of them have nice architecture.
Transportation: the UK since is smaller, denser and not as car oriented as the others.
Education: No idea, but the universities you hear most about are either in the UK or the USA.
Natural scenery: New Zealand.
Cost of Living: no clue.
Political Stability: all of them, if anything the UK.
The Politics: what about the politics?
Economical Stability: USA I believe, all of the above.
Fun: Define fun.
other than colonial buildings in some new englander towns, there is nothing that british in modern new england)
britain today doesn't even resemble the britain that colonized the US, it has changed vastly since then as well.
I would think the US influences the UK more than the other way around. While British are very aware of what goes on in America, most Americans are oblivious to the UK.
Canada is a smaller, less populated, "nicer" version of America, Australia is too far, too uninhabited, too isolated, New Zealand is too small.
USA on the other hand is massive (the population of all of the anglosphere fits inside America's 340 million people and you have hundredths of millions of Americans left.
cosmopolitan: far more diverse in landscapes, with tons of african heritage, latin american and caribbean influences, germanic, italian, french you name it!
I am not even sure if I would consider the USA as anglo. It has its own culture, cuisine and architecture, it has no modern relations with the commonwealth and considers the UK a foreign country rather than the motherland. Independent in all aspects, while the other three are rips of (Aus and NZ from britain) and Canada from America.
bigger economy, bigger cities, more things to do.
I think the US wins.
This canadian completely agrees with you.
USA>Australia>Canada and the UK. Although I like the architecture in the UK a lot more than that which one finds in North America.
The USA's politics is the only thing about it that I find problematic. I wouldn't want to be part of a hegemonic empire, thanks. I'd have a bit of a problem funding with my taxes the enslavement of the rest of humanity, It just ain't my thang. I couldn't buy into that whole american exceptionalism baloney. Apart from that small quibble, I'd prefer living in the States.
Canada has far less an affiliation with the UK than does the US, Aus or NZ.
In most ways Canadians view themselves more socially aligned with Europe and especially the Nordic countries. We have more Nordic views on progressive social issues and egalitarianism than do the other 2.
Given that the UK and Canada share the same monarch and general style of government, I wouldn't go as far as you.
Haha... So which place is the best location, and has the best lifestyle, weather, urban living and history in your opinion? Come on... Australia and Canada both have the best lifestyle, in Aus (the worlds playground) you can go in the sea (well some of them...) and surf anytime of the year (at least in Queensland), the weather is good, and they're not as fat like us Brits and Americans - it's a free fun life! Canada is also extremely cool. America is great to but is taken down a notch because of the fact that some are to dependent on fatty foods - same applies here, but made even worse with the left-wing politics and depressing weather during the late Autumn/winter months! ha
Which Anglo country is the best out of all these things, UK, USA, Canada or Australia:
Friendliness: Australia. Aussies seem to be more outgoing than Canadians, more laid back than the Brits, and less argumentative than Americans.
Location: UK. Easy Access to Continental Europe.
Lifestyle: Maybe Canada or Australia. Less pressure just to stay afloat like there is in the States and less ridiculous media noise like in the UK.
Weather: USA. We've got any sort of climate, short of Equatorial Tropics, that you could desire.
Nightlife: USA. As above, the US has whatever you are looking for.
Tourist attractions: USA for national parks, UK for history.
Economic diversity: USA. If manufacturing continues to come back then the US will remain at or near the top for a long time to come. No offense, but are any of the other countries even close?
Cultural contribution: UK. Thanks for making English a global language and making me lazy when it comes to learning other languages.
Urban living: USA. Every sort of urban living is available. And NYC>London.
History: UK with USA a close second.
Architecture: USA. Unless you're a Hobbit, then UK.
Transportation: UK. It helps to be a small island in this respect, though.
Education: Tie between UK and USA. UK has probably the most prestigious university in Oxford but the US has an entire Ivy "League" and many excellent state universities. The others arguable surpass it in the levels prior to university though.
Natural scenery: USA-Canada-UK(edges out Australia with Scotland)-Australia
Cost of Living: USA. You can still live cheaply in some nice parts of the country.
Political Stability: Canada. Australia has to worry about China expanding and the Government Shutdowns in the US are growing tiresome. I suppose the UK is fairly stable but the politics are too confrontational there.
The Politics: Canada or Australia. Politics in the US have become a circus and the UK is not far behind. The other two countries don't seem to have the intractable "Us vs. Them" mentality, at least not yet.
Economical Stability: Canada or Australia. They don't have the financial centers of Wall Street and The City. And I don't really recall hearing about much booming and busting in either of those places but then again, I'm not an Economic History professor.
Fun: USA has just about everything from nature to culture and history. With the others it just depends what you're into. Canada for nature and winter sports. Australia for nature as well and summer sports like surfing. The UK for culture and history.
