I guess Australia, because they seem to be the most well organized and a much more peaceful country.

Canada, because they're pretty peaceful. And their candy bars are awesome. And the economy!

So you'd want to be ruled by a semi-communist government? I thought you were the free-market liberal type.

I noticed most of the votes were Canada. Why is it so? Nationalism?

I expect it's because they are perceived as having a liberal society and would make for fairly lenient rulers.

That and there's a lot of Canadians here.

Okay, here's a brief summary.

Canada is the second biggest country in the world by land mass, but has a low population - just over 30 million (USA has 10x as many people).

Canada is a Commonwealth Realm, so it's head of state is Queen Elizabeth II. They continue to hold strong relations with the UK. Whenever a law is passed, the Governor General (the representative of the Queen) must sign the law. This means technically that the United Kingdom has power, except that it will never be used. It is merely ceremonial.

There are two distinct cultures in Canada - English speaking and French speaking. There are many, many others, and Canada is a multicultural nation. From incidents relating back to the 60s and 70s, the francophones (French speaking) have been concerned about their culture, so language preservation laws have been passed. There are now two official languages, and every product in Canada must be labeled in English and in French.

Since WW2, Canada has taken a different approach towards military. Through strong connections through the United States, Canada has basically all the defense they need. Canada is noted now for their excellent peace keeping. Canadians are generally well liked in other countries because of their "non violence" attitude. Although they DO have an army, it is nowhere extensive of other countries, and probably could not uphold a full out offensive attack.

Canada is a cross between capitalism and state-run, similar to Sweden. People run businesses themselves, but if a need is required, the government will step in (a crown corporation). For instance, the government owns the Canadian station CBC, and the railway CN.

Canada's major exports (especially to the USA) includes oil, coal, natural gas, and lumber.

Europe, then group all the countries in Europe together! Right now the U.S. has the biggest economy, but Europe has a bit of a group coming together, if they do, together they will be the biggest economy, having the two largest economies together would be one massive, rich country that would pwn all! And if Europe ever becomes enemies with the U.S. it would be one hard fought battle!

Then the US and the Canada will join together and form a super massive even bigger than europe country that will dominate all starting from annexing japan, SK, south american countries to conquer all.
I want US to take over the world.

Umm... I'd say that none of them could ever take over th earth, and that I would fight against any country that tried to encompass every person on the planet.

That being said I choose Turkey, because I'm sure everyone would agree Turkey is good.

Canada is just a good idea only because it is close and we would pwn all countries with our mother of a hockey team, we would be awesome! But if we had Europe we would own all in War and wealth.

If you guys didnt notice, the Europe is resourceless and barran. If the U.S. takes over Asia, it then would pawn all. ( And South America )

Ya diversity is the number one big pwnzerizer of all other powers on earth. If one country took over another, the two together owned by one would have amost no problem taking over another then another then we all speak the same language, mostly then we all do the stuff and we decide to blow eachother up! Because no more wars.
