Default England vs. Australia

Which country wins? Which country is better to live in?

Rules: No criticizing either countries to the point where it's harshly dissing them.

Well I know Peter would whoop up on Captain England. But I'm not sure what other Ausies we have as (ex) Board Repressentives.

Australia is where we sent criminals. It is rubbish. For Australia not to be rubbish is a mathematical impossibility. That is science.

Britain wins. Far stronger military power.

Australia is better to live in. Despite the hot summers, its actually got pretty nice weather in the coastal cities. As long as I could live in Sydney, I wouldn't get too bored. Britain does get things faster and has better internet, but its just too damn cold and rainy all the time. And currently Europe can't access Jon Stewart over the internet. That's just sad.

I don't know militarily actually, Australia's actually considered the Superpower of that region. Don't know the actual numbers off the top of my head.

The US of A!

Yes the USA wins even though it isn't in the competition!

Seriously though I've been to England it was fairly pleasant, and from what I heard Australia is very nice.

I believe its easier to get a gun in Australia, and also easier to go hunting so based on those two things alone and disregarding all the actual indicators of standard of living because I don't feel like looking them up right now, I'm going to have to say Australia.

Science is so mathematical. Pi = Test tube.

Of Oceania? Given that their rivals would be the likes of Samoa, Fiji, Micronesia, etc. that's not too big a deal. They wouldn't be the superpower of anything else in the area, as China isn't too far off and I'd assume have alot more firepower.

Brits have nukes. That said, the Aussies could just gather a bunch of their more dangerous wildlife and throw it at England. Would have about the same effect. Presumably.

As a funny coincidence, I learned today that it's actually legal to carry a sword openly in Australia.

As such, I have to side with them on sheer principle.

As the rabbits will testify, local Aussie animals are less dangerous on the native flora and fauna. They kill about as many people though...

Rabbits can be surprisingly aggressive.

Mother vs Daughter.

I have only been in England but i really , really hated the weather . I bet there are places in Australia with not that kind of weather. So a vote for Australia from me.

You are a bad Wolverine fan. As someone pointed out, movie Wolverine is Hugh Jackman and therefore Wolverine is Australian and has claws so Australia wins. This is science.
