Italy and Spain are very close. Spain has been gaining steam in recent years and in my opinion, they've surpassed Italy by now especially with their stronger business ties with Latin America.
My favorite of all those countries though... would have to be France. Modern transportation, modern skyscrapers in Paris, great food, large number of immigrants (Vietnam, Lebanon, Africans), secularism, language, joie de vivre culture, art, scenery & nature, and well... I probably forgot some other things. But yah. It's France for me.

Do you have an agenda? Why the surprise?
Could it be that the UK is moving forwards at a fast pace and the others less so? Or that it is simply a better place to live unless you are a computer nerd from asia who takes a dislike to the fact that our little country has done so much and has so much influence.

vincebjs April 30th, 2005, 08:10 AM 1. France - along with Germany, the most pro-European. They know that "going it alone" means reduced influence worldwide, and ultimately domination by the Americans.
2. Germany

This is a crap.. - grow can`t be a reason of power.
If we go your opinion then we should place Latvia and Estonia in the TOP because there is real high grow rate.. You mistake a concept.
The fact is that most 2 powerful countries in the EU are: Germany and the UK .. and I don`t want to rate witch is the numer one - there is separate thread for this.

So thy have more seats in the EU. The British have a stronger alliance with the world's only remaining superpower. Besides, that's like saying that California is beter than Florida because it has more seats in the House of reps.

external world debt, I assume it's fairly different of national debt. Anyway, I'm not in economy so I won't answer you. Just pointing that external thing out.
birminghamculture June 7th, 2005, 02:42 PM external world debt, I assume it's fairly different of national debt. Anyway, I'm not in economy so I won't answer you. Just pointing that external thing out.
External debt means money owed by the country to foreign companies and goverments & total public and private debt owed to non-residents repayable in foreign currency, goods, or services.
The UK has no statistics on its debt, same can be said for France, Germany Italy and Switzerland. The higest debtor is believe it or not Japan, followed by America, Brazil, Australia and Argentina.
The UK's rough estimates are that the UK are - £22billion in debt - all public finances.
That is indeed one of the lowest and compared to Thomas B stats is $4,688,000,000,000 lower then he estimated stupidly.
yes thats 4 and a half TRILLION - when infact its only £22 billion.

he didn't "estimate stupidly." :bash: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2079rank.html
and debt is not just the government's, external debt means "the total public and private debt owed to nonresidents repayable in foreign currency, goods, or services. These figures are calculated on an exchange rate basis, i.e., not in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms."
I'm surprised the US is that low. It must be that much of its debt is denominated in dollars. For the US, its also a couple years old.
schreiwalker June 7th, 2005, 05:08 PM and don't worry, since the US is too busy playing Globocop and buying artificially low chinese goods, its external debt (as provided by the US Treasury) has risen to over 8 trillion dollars.
schreiwalker June 7th, 2005, 05:12 PM anyway, back to the thread.
