The list of the world's most admired countries is derived from the 2009 Anholt-GfK Roper Nation Brands Index, released Monday. The authors surveyed 20,000 people from 20 countries--each chosen for geographic and economic diversity--over the summer of 2009. The survey asked respondents to rank 50 countries in six categories: governance, culture, products and services, people, tourism and immigration/investment.

The Germans have to kiss ass now because of their previous behaviour. As for the French, I think the majority of people only visit Paris, Eiffel tower and no go out to the provinces so the REAL France is not experience.
And wheres IRELAND?

God knows WHY! :rolleyes: Most people I've spoken to, consider the Germans an *arrogant, noisy race. But, having said that, the lady living next door to me is of German extraction ... and is a really nice, helpful neighbour ... thus belying this *"popularly-held" image.
