1. Mexico

2. France

3. Mexico

4. Czech Republic. If I had to move somewhere else it would be there. Czechs have the best qualities of the Germans without the baggage. Sounds like Austrians, except they have a crazy Slav streak. But it’s manageable, unlike their cousins to the east and south. Just the best all-around.

5. West Germany

6. Scotland only because I have never been fully convinced they speak English.

   Or Mexico.

7. Chile

8. Mexico

9. Always the same two questions with always same two answers:

   What country is similar/closest to United States: **Canada**.

   What Non-English country is similar/closest to United States: **Mexico**.

   It should become obvious that the two neighbors of the United States are the two most similar or parallel.

10. Mexico

11. Thailand

12. Why are people saying Mexico? I have been to Mexico several times, I live in Texas, and I have friends from Mexico and cannot possibly see the similarities between the two. Mexico is so vastly culturally different from the US.

13. Mexico, I guess? Other Latin-American countries seem to regard Mexico as more like the US than like them?
