I'll assume you've tried to say they're not French, and if you have, you are wrong my friend.

Israel was created after WW2 for the jewish refugees, which happened to be right where the Palestinians happened to be, but luckily they've been getting on excellently ever since.

Yes, they are French:

"Daft Punk is the main project of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974) and Thomas Bangalter (born January 3, 1975), two dance music artists from Paris."

Personaly, I think we can never really say which is "the best" country. It was the Uk for a bit, then we kinda lost the plot by giving away all those countries to it's inhabitants, and now it's the Us, but hey, in a few years it could be China....

This is an other thing, it is maybe the best country in some terms, but the culture that USA is relying on, it is just silly.

You say at times Great Britain had more divisions well then what would the war be like with that shortfall of soldiers. I'd say pretty bad. The argument has turned to The UK being insignificant in the war well we both know thats not true.

I never said they were insignificant, but you CLAIMED the UK winning the Battle of Britain was the reason the Allies won the war. And I know thas wrong and was trying to tell you. Here, I will supply you with what made me think this. There are more, like when you deny Russia its due respect, but I didnt feel like looking for it.

I'm obviously gonna say Britain. For winning the battle of Bratain(A when America had not joined the fight) against Germany allowing for a land base for the allies in 1944 to launch the d-day landings from sea and air. landings which lead to a quick defeat of Germany and her allies.
Incorrect, Please tell me how America would have attacked Europe If Britain was occupied?Youv've go the Japs in the east, Africa occupied neutral countries north.

And, about the fact Great Britain had more divisions available than the US. Proof? Cause I think those 30 odd divisions my fact sheet showed included the Indian divisions and such. So, basically, back up your word.

Don't get me wrong im not saying that we won the war but it helped the allies win the war a hell of alot quicker and easier. Russia did loads i admit on the one front and made it to Berlin first fair enough. It would have been easier if they had not helped the Germans in the first place. I would like you to admit that the war may not have been won without the British empire(and it could not be won without the russian or the Americans also) If any of the allies had dropped out or not joined i think the war would have gone Germany's way.

Ok, finally, thats not what your tune was earlier.

I would like you to admit that the war may not have been won without the British empire

Ok, fair enough. That is a fair possibility not without the realm of possibility. Hell, the Germans would have had some crazy ass super weapons if the war weant on a couple of more years, including better tanks, FIRST assault rifle, sweet jets, and other cool stuff. And maybe the Germans would have had enough industry to push out a win in Russia if they had 2 more years of air superiority that could have been had if the bases in Britain were not there.

I, still, personally think the Russians could have won it all by themselves, though ; )
Note: I am not Russian nor a Russian partisan at all and gererally I make fun of Russian people like this Russian kid named Shamil I know. I just know what I know.

America, for example, is very wealthy and most of their ppl have a high quality of life but it has huge problems as well. I couldn't possibly name them all just like I couldn't name all of my own countries problems but for example suffers from unemployment, urban decay, racial disharmony and crime.

I'm not saying America is a bad place or anything, I'm just taking it as an example to show that no one country can be called the best.

The problem with america is that everyone is corrupt. Look at even the most innocent man and hold 1 Million dollars in front of him and say kill that man over there and you will get a Trillion dollars instead he will shoot him to his hearts content

Well, there is no "best" county, its a relative subject based on what you like; for me, even though America is severely fucked up, I like the "melting pot" and even though we live in a country full of hatred, fear, ignorance and all kinds of -isms, im grateful to be able to speak my goddamn mind whenever i feel like it, and have the ability to become successful, which we can often take for granted.

Haha, I think even the Pope would kill for a trillion dollars. That, my friends, is a bejesus load of money.

And if that is the reason you think America is corrupt, you better go ask your friends if they would literally kill for 1 trillion dollars.

What the hell does 'best' mean anyway? Richest? Most intelligent? Most laid back? Oldest? I don't think its a question that can be answered subjectively.

You mean objectively. So far everyone here has been subjective (try find someone/somethng that is objective, I dare you).

This is my point, a lot of states weren't hit by WW2 and still they are not the best state in the world.

You're all wrong. It is obviously Iceland because its my favorite place to take when playing Risk. Next to it is Canada and Australia. I hope I spelled it right. Yeah, Australia is easiest to defend in Risk......Canada has Canadians, what more do you need?

The most powerful countries by continent:

North America: United States of America (ok im biased but im right too)

South America:.........uhh Brazil I guess

Europe: Toss up between England and Germany

Australia: and the winner is... wait for it... Australia

Asia: Toss up between China (larger military and more resources) and Japan (better economy (2nd to USA), more innovative, and hey they invented Anime and Godzilla)

Africa: really not sure here probably South Africa

and the Middle East: Israel (though middle east isnt a continent)
(Israel has won about 3 or 4 wars when it was vastly outnumbered by an Arab alliance, it not only won it won big time. Also its economy is the best in the Middle East and lets face it you just cant beat that many Jewish people in one place (I am not anti-semetic in fact I like Jews, Jews rock booyeah!)

So there you have it feel free to argue and no Canada is only the second most powerful country in N America eh!

right now i think the best country would be japan. they arent fighting wars, they arent in debt, and the citizens are happy. i think is up there dont take me wrong. but if japan had a war going on then it wouldnt be the best. i think u judge which country is the best by how happy the ppl are. second of all, it is a proven fact that the better the econemy the shorter the skirts get. im not lying this is an actual fact. now which country has really short skirts??? JAPAN!
