Do you wish you lived in a bigger or smaller country?

Asked by JLeslie (65743points) February 23rd, 2014

Bigger or smaller than the one you live in now? Does it make any difference at all?

Smaller. It’s easier to reach a higher standard of living.

Nah, I can make it here. It’s big enough for what I need and small enough for what I want.

I don’t know if size would make any difference but I am more than happy living exactly where I am now, in the country I am now.

I wish I had my own island. A country of one.

I think the size of the United States is perfect for a person like me who likes to travel by car. I don’t need a passport to visit an arid desert, glaciers, volcanic mountains, old growth forests, subtropical forests, plains, tall grass prairies, salt flats, canyons, ocean coasts, major rivers and prominent mountain ranges.

I might go a step larger and move to Canada.

I never thought of the US as being either too big or too small for me. I like that it’s large and so we can travel within the country and still have a huge variety of locations to visit. I like that we can see everything from Alaska to Cali to Las Vegas to Disney World to the mid-West to the Pacific Northwest to New England and everything in between.

The county (perspective) I live in is ¼th the size of the Netherlands. I have surfing two hours to the left. Snowboarding is a hour to the right. The city I live in is big enough to have gay bars and museums and a lovely library. I will happily die here.

It’s a right size for me. Nothing too crazy. It’s a big country but doesn’t have a huge population.

Not bigger or smaller, but richer :)

Australia is the best country in the world, and part of that is because it is big enough to get away from crowds when you need to.
