United Kingdom-As the cultural homeland of the USA, and producer of some of the greatest literature and a mighty cultural and commerical empire.
Germany-At least pre-1918 Germany. I’ve always admired the Prussians and especially Bismarck, one of the greatest statesmen in history. Hitler on the other was a boorish Austrian rabble-rousing peasent and the exact opposite of Bismarck.
China-The progenitor of the greatest cultural influence on Korea and the rest of East Asia. Plus I admire its social conservatism as preserved in Taiwan and Singapore and it has proved to be a fertile ground for the expansion of CHristianity.
Do you mean what countries I would move to, visit, or just like in some other way? Does there have to be a certain level of like before I should favor (favour) it? I like most countries in some ways. The ones like Canada and Australia would be the easiest ones to move to while somewhere like Russia has a fascinating culture and history but a lot wrong with it at the same time.
I am not sure what types of answers you are going for. If you just want me to pick some that seem cool, I will go with Estonia, Costa Rica, and Saint Lucia.
I’ve lived in China and the United States and am favorable to both, I guess. But I’m favorable to all countries, really(yes, even Japan, Qin and Dutchman).
Every country is mainly made up of decent people, with their own fair amounts of jerks/morons/politicians to mix things up.
I am unfavorable towards no countries at all. I guess I’m a citizen of Earth, really, so I can’t see being unfavorable to any country in it. Why would I?
Prussia above all, partly for the reasons of the OP; Germania as a whole; Danmark; Russia; Byzantium; Italy for her peerless contribution as the foundation of western civilisation; the Baltics; England & her adjoining partners; the Austrian Empire; Japan for giving us anime, etc. etc…
But although not sympatico to either heat or latinity, I’m grateful to France and Spain as well for their abilities in the past. I don’t actually object or disparage any country or people, but I maintain a studied uninterest in most apart from their arts.
I have always had a great affinity for Canada - and Canadians. Actually for all the “Commonwealth Nations” or whatever they call themselves these days. I hope to have the opportunity to visit the UK, particularly Wales someday. I have read a great deal about Belize and have considered moving there, although if it happens at all it will probably have to wait a few years until I retire.

I like Canada, and it’s much closer to me than the nearest U.S. city of any size.
I liked England, but never got out of London. Italy was fun, and I’d like to spend more time there. Actually, I have an affinity to most European and Scandinavian countries. Based on the Australians I’ve met IRL, I like them. They struck me as having the fun-lovingness of Americans, but without the attitude. I have a fondness for Vietnamese food, so that’s a favourable thing.
