I think i'd choose france. More "joie de vivre".
German.
But if I had more options, I'd go Italian.
I LOVE Italian girls (especially south italian), and i love italian language, cuisine, culture.
The way they speak, act, dress, ...
BUT: the economy is going down the shitter. Corruption, pollution, maffia is still going strong. Very low birth rate, high immigration rate, political disaster situation, ...
Italy is "the sick man of europe".
