    A country is solely a government controlling a territory and a population. It’s a tool and it should be seen as one.

    It makes more sense to have a favourite screwdriver than a favourite country. At least it’s a physical tool.

    I’ve been to 26 countries so far and really can’t say what my favorites were.
    My least favorite was the US.
    But it has to mentioned, I lived in northern Wisconsin without a car or driver’s license.
    The nearest grocery store was a Walmart 25 miles away.
    The only people my age within cycling distance were hardcore drug addicts and also gun nuts.
    Their idea of a fun prank was shoving an unloaded shotgun into my face and pulling the trigger.
    The only place to go out at all was a bar. People drove there with their trucks, got drunk, and drove back home.
