Found this topic interesting, so sorry for the necro. I'm British, and love Japanese and Australian culture. I actually went to Australia (Sydney, to be precise) for a few weeks and really enjoyed my time there except for the limited internet.
I'm half German/half Egyptian having spent my whole life in Germany, but there's not really much that holds me here. I have developed a fascination with Scandinavia, especially Sweden, so far that I learned the language myself and plan to spent a year there as an au-pair in the near future. In the meantime I also developed a fascination for England, especially after spending my unfortunately only one-week-long graduation trip there. I was really positively surprised, the people are so much more open and friendlier than back home and it was the best trip I ever had. I also really really love the British Accent. So if I'm gonna emigrate one day, it's gonna be definitely one of these countries.
I was born in America, but spent many years in Australia, so I have a special fondness for those sport-loving wackos. I love Canada and Japan and have been to both (my uncle is the CEO of Captial One Canada—*cough* no family loyalty here *cough*), and all hail our British overlords. Honestly, such a shame our silly founding fathers broke away from that great empire.
I don't like the US much. I'm fairly certain I'm on several government watchlists, and I get "randomly" checked every time I go to the airport. Every. Single. Time. Also, I'm horrified of our lax gun laws and the blatant hostility and intolerance toward minorities.
Late to the party, but I am actually obsessed with Canada. I go there every opportunity I can get (next trip will be in August, to Cape Breton Island, NS where I've been once before) and am counting down the days until I can move there
Fellow Canada fan here. While it's certainly not perfect, I deeply admire many of its aspects like free healthcare, better standards of living, smaller economical disparity, an actually honest government, colder weather, and most importantly, you (usually) can safely walk outside without fear of getting stabbed or shot.
It's basically on a league of its own; comparing it to the Crapsack World that is Brazil is simply unfair. I'm eager to move over to the red-leafed country one day; I'm just afraid of it being an unrealistic dream to attain.
Though it's worth noting that another country I greatly admire to the same level of Canada is Australia. Despite the horrifying wildlife it has a reputation for.
Sick of everything.Greetings Peasants! I'm American but after reading The Divine Comedy I somehow managed to develop a crush on the entire country of Italy. When I'm not getting excited over Italy I'm getting excited over Finland or Holland.
Full moon is on the sky and he's not a man anymoreI'm an American, and while I don't personally feel loyalty to another country, I do know a guy who totally loves Europe. He used to live over there and talks about how clean those countries are compared to how the US is and how well-organized they are.
I suppose loyalty is too strong a word, but...
I'm Swedish, and I've taken a rather strong liking to Ireland. And North Ireland, while I'm at it.
I love the mythology, music and the beautiful landscapes. I've visited Dublin twice with my family, and we had a great time both times. The Guinness brewery and museum is a blast, even if you don't like drinking the stuff. And the countryside day trips we took those times... The first time around, we went to several beautiful places, including Glendalough. The second time, a trip to Giant's Wharf and Bregagh Road in Northern Ireland.note
And wow! I could lose myself in the Irish wilderness for weeks!
My AO3 profile. Let sleeping cats lie and be cute and calming.I'm American and quite content with my country, and I'm primarily of Scots-Irish ancestry.
However, I have a love for all things Greek.
I love everything about Greece: the language, the food, the history, mythology, etc.

I live in Australia... but to be honest I love Japan, not because I'm a weaboo but because of the food, the shrines, and the history. The fact that I take Japanese classes at school doesn't decrease my love a bit.
