(By Preference)

Countries----1st----2nd----3rd----4th----5th----6th

Sweden------6------4-------0-----1------2------0

Switzerland---3------4-------0-----1------2------3

Austria-------1------5-------4-----1------1------1

Portugal------2------0-------1-----3------3------4

Belgium-------1------1-------4-----4------2------1

Greece--------0------1-------2----3------3------4

Sweden has been 10 times ranked either at Top 1 or 2.
Switzerland: 7 times
Austria: 6 times
Portugal, Belgium: twice
Greece: once.

Sweden has been 11 times ranked either at Top 1 or 2 or 3.
Austria: 10 times
Switzerland: 7 times
Belgium: 6 times
Portugal & Greece: 3 times each.

It seems that, so far, most of the people prefer Sweden, Switzerland, and Austria to Portugal, Belgium, and Greece. What might have led them to love the former 3 than the latter 3? And among the latter 3, Belgium is the most preferred to Portugal and/or Greece. What could be the reason for that?

Sen · May 7th, 2005, 08:59 PM

lol you know the reason why are you asking...

but for me i prefer larger countries over tiny countries, that's why i put switzerland and belgium at the bottom of the list.

I frankly don't know. I thought it may be economical... but it seems that Swiss is the only one that is economically far superior than others. But Switzerland is not that popular. And aren't others (except Swiss) generally at the same level of economy with GDP around 20,000~30,000?

DnH · May 7th, 2005, 10:01 PM

1. Portugal
2. Greece
3. Sweden
4. Austria
5. Belgium
6. Switzerland

My list

i prefer warm weather first of all.. thats what i put first..
none of the countries are in the third world, so theres not a VERY big difference when it comes to standars of living.. although switzerland, belgium austria and sweden are ahead of the souther countries of greece and portugal in one way.

But if Sweden and Austria were as exotic when it comes to the weather, i would put them first on my list.

Heh, I put Portugal and Greece last for exactly the opposite reason. I can't stand that kind of warm weather. Belgium I prefer more for it's central role in EU.

Swizerland, Austria and Sweden are all great and imo very interesting coutries - it wasn't easy ranking them. This time Swizerland got the first place from me because I was born there and because my family, from my fathers side, originates over 200 years back from there - it's just closer to my heart.
