Tier 3:
Spaniards

Irish
New Zealanders

Maybe I will write more specific descriptions for some of those nationalities with the list in this thread topic later but for now I rather just have the list up.
I decided to include an equal amount of nationalities (6 total in each) for all categories and tiers.
On one hand you hear about how quality of life is best in these northern, Germanic countries, but then you hear about the high suicide rate, and the dour, reserved temperament. You know I think it's more than 'just how they are', 'they're really smiling beneath that frown', 'they just don't need to show it.' There's something about Germanic cultures - maybe it's the social isolation (less family-oriented) which seems to make people at least appear more miserable. It's the same from the UK to Denmark to Norway. The Netherlands might be kind of an exception though, they seem a bit more exuberant. I'm with you, even though I'm no extrovert the colourful, extroverted atmosphere of the Latin countries naturally draws me more.
Germany is very family orientated. Rather direct which can make sound serious but also I find more open and far less superficial than Americans or increasingly Australians and New Zealanders.
I would rate the Dutch equally as honest if blunt as the Germans. Both are far more open with sexual matters than the Anglo countries mentioned as well.
Suicide is more an issue further north and east(Hungry,for example) But is a big problem in what I would term socially isolated and conservative countries of Australia and New Zealand....

if their was a prize for most comprehensive report , you sir would win with flying colours
only met a few romanians , found them to be quite latin in charechter , charismatic , nothing like hungarians who are dour and cold yet without a german style honesty , found it to be an utterly corrupt country
I've met quite a few Gurkhas in my time and was fortunate enough to go to Nepal to watch a selection when they were attached to the same Brigade as me.
some people ( regardless of backround ) will treat you with contempt even your the dalai lama meets prince charming
Some people yes, but not an entire country. Is it okay to say all Irish are drunk racist bastards?
