I haven't been to much of Europe but I'll give my list.

ITALY

How could anyone not love Italy? Unrivaled cuisine, lifestyle, language, art, history, women, no wonder everyone hates the Italians but wishes they were one! Italians were the pioneers of fascism, the contributions of Gentile, D'Annunzio, and Mussolini can not be understated. Not to mention Rome, probably the most important city in Europe, with its immaculate architecture and wealth of European history. Like every country I'll list, Italy's glory has diminished compared to previous days, but I'm very optimistic about the future of Italy.

SERBIA

I love the Serbian legacy, their history of constant prolonged struggle against larger powers is very inspiring. Not just recently against NATO, Serbian history in the World Wars is very respectable. I also love Serbs. They're hard-headed yet intelligent, athletic, and are largely immune to western cultural propaganda. Excellent folk music, too.

RUSSIA

Where to begin? I love Russian resilience. After surviving 70 years of communism, they survived the 1990s and continue to be a global power, despite losing much economic and political power from the collapse of the USSR. But, let's forget politics. Russia has a host of the best inventors, writers, artists, engineers, and composers. Their architecture is beautiful, from Petrine Baroque to the Russo-Byzantine architecture from the 1800s. I have a lot of respect for Russian colonialism and cossacks, maybe because I'm an American and there are parallels, but I've always found the escapades and misfortunes of the cossack hosts resonate with me.

ENGLAND

I've always been enamored with Anglo-Saxons, and that has gradually led to a deeper study into English history as a whole. Unlike the other countries, I've actually been to England. It's a beautiful country marred by some of the worst effects of globalization. Anyone who has seen the brutalist apartments and multiracial cities knows what I mean. Despite this, England is has probably had more impact on the world than any other country, with English being a global language and several countries spawning from English colonial ambitions. For better or for worse, the English spread European civilization across the globe and possessed a colonial empire that ruled more than a quarter of the world. It's a shame their cuisine is so awful!

AUSTRIA

Talk about underrated, Austria looks like a fairy tale rather than a real place. Beautiful well-maintained castles, glass-like lakes, and the alpine landscape make Austria one of my favorite European countries. And of course, Austria is very eco-friendly. It's a shame Austria lost the Austro-Prussian war, an Austria-led Catholic Germany would have been a sight to behold.
