>>60671352
Nah, france is fun to visit but shit to live in.
Nordic countries are objectively the best countries in the world and the only hazard is running into ungrateful pricks who feel the need to complain because they have never faced challenges in their lives do to the system taking care of everything.
>>60671795
OP didn't specify what it's meant to be best in. France might not be the best place to live, but I'd say it's the best European country in terms of its contributions to humanity.
>>60671975
>in terms of its contributions to humanity
Could very well be Britain desu lad
>>60672056
But Britain is a French contribution to humanity :^)
Memeing aside, I thank France wins on the basis of its cooking. We're closely matched on legal systems and contributions to the sciences, literature and math/philosophy, so they get the edge on us there.
Finlan Benis :^DDD
>>60670714
My vote goes to France
>>60671795
It's really awesome to live in, especially if you have money. It's OK if you makes average or low income.
My ideal life would to work 5 years in Switzerland /luxembourg and then get back in France with all those sweets monies
>>60671975
>>60672288
Fair enough lad.
Although france, britain and german states pretty much form the historical triumvirate of historical human achievement, not france alone.
>>60672288
>legal systems
Common law is actually pretty much exclusive to Anglo countries. Most European, Asian and South American countries use civil law which is based on Roman law.
>philosophy
Bertrand Russell was a great philosopher, but Greece, France and, particularly in more modern times, Germany have made greater contributions.
>>60670714
Sweden
>>60672572
Saying it was shit to live in was unduly harsh tbqh but it is challenging because of how the big cities are expensive, overpopulated and between the driving and the public transportation I wouldn't want to live there. Meanwhile the smaller cities or towns might be nice but where are you going to get a job.
Switzerland probably tbqh

>>60672621
>legal systems
It's also common in Britsh Empire countries -- usually in an amalgamated form, sure, but Britain doesn't even do common law exclusively within itself. I'd still say it's a comparable contribution.
>Bertrand Russel
Not even our best. Don't forget Hume, Bacon and Locke. British philosphers aren't so readily discounted.
>>60673049
>British philosphers aren't so readily discounted.
I didn't say they were. I'm particularly fond of Locke myself.
I'm simply pointing out that other countries have contributed as well and perhaps more so than the British. If we count the Germans speaking countries as one entity they win hands down and even Germany by itself have contributed significantly to philosophy. And let us not forget the forefathers of modern philosophy, namely the Greek.
>>60673259
I'm not comparing it to Germany or Greece, though. I'm saying our contribution in it is comparable to France's.
Sweden.
France, Spain, and Greece.

Topkek, they only arrived after Swedes occupied us with the help of their Vatican goons and German mercenaries, not during the Viking Age.
>>60675045
>Says the swede
Yes, because it's worse than Sweden. You live in bureaucracy and protectionism hell and have been taught to love it. Your country have fucked up laws where a certain percentage of media has to be French and try to extort Google for money because apparently journalists should get paid for having Google link to their articles. And the list of socialism/stupidity goes on and on.

Literally every relevant Finn has been of Fenno-Swedish descent. Just look at those who finnicized their names in the 19 and 20th centuries.
>muh Kekkonen
Kek.
>>60675348
Nothing wrong with being #2, Börje
>>60675562
Most Fenno"swedes" are just Finns who changed their names to climb the social ladder. See >>60675120
Why are we bashing Fennoswedes again? They're 60% Finnish anyway.

>>60675646
changed their names and language *
>>60675550
Wow so nearly a thousand years ago you beat us. You remembered what happened after that? You know the part where we took the entirety of Finland and made it a part of Sweden for the next 600 years?
And if it hadn't been for the cuck of a king we got in 1792 all or most of Finland would still be part of Sweden and Finnish would've most likely have been a dying language. With ~16 million inhabitants we would've had more of a say, but now we're (as in all Nordics) relegated to being the backwater social experiment of Europe.
>>60675646

>>60675721
We should just give them to Sweden. Literally everyone would agree with that, even the Swedes since they need some bastion for their dying country.
>>60675646
Fennoman revisionist bullshit.
>>60675708
>You know the part where we took the entirety of Finland
You didn't take shit. Without the Vatican's goons and their German mercenaries you would've never been able to take us. Swedes are a bunch of cowardly fucks that always preferred to have somebody do all the fighting for them, be it mercenaries or hakkapeliittas.

Mannerheim was literally just a figurehead who didn't really do anything significant during the wars. All the military tacticians and the ones pulling the strings, so to speak, were Finnish.

>>60675819
Because mercenaries were extremely common. Why waste your own people when you could just as well hire some foreigners? Some of the greatest commanders of all time, like Hannibal, used mercenaries. Saying "yeah well, not without mercenaries" is as retarded and ignorant of history as saying "yeah well, not while having one arm tied to your back and only using a blunt sword".
All the bants and memes aside, Sweden is one of the most honorable countries in Europe and they severely lack the credit due to rampant /pol/ memes.
>>60676330
Sweden used to be one of the honourable countries, it's turned to shite in the past 30 decades or so.
Thanks Palme.

That's what neutrality means you fucking retard.
>>60676540
Shush, Sven. Back to the cuckshed with you.
>>60676510
That shit happened all over Europe, and I strongly believe you're exaggerating in this particular case.
Let's not live in the past.
>>60676510
>tried to suppress our culture and language
Culture, yes. And it largely succeeded. Perhaps that's unfortunate, I don't know.
Language, no. Just no. If that were the case you'd be speaking Swedish today. Case in point: Scania. Scania was forcefully converted from Danish speakers to Swedish speakers and there are no Danish speaking Scanians left today. And Scania has been a part of Sweden for shorter period than Finland was. This notion of one country, one language is a modern one.
>>60676735
Emphasis on tried to. Not as aggressively as Russians did during the final years of the Russian Empire, but in a more passive manner yes. All Finns who refused to learn Swedish or "disrespected" Swedes them were to be considered outlaws.
>>60676870
It was the language of the political elite and official business but in large Finns were allowed to speak their language unhindered. Historically this is very common, in fact, it was pretty much the norm in all empires and larger nations. Why would Sweden and the Swedish empire be any different?
