New Zealand / Australia. I agree, kind of a toss up.
Working from the military point of view, our closest allies have always been the ABC’s.
Australia , Great Britain and Canada
Australia has beautiful land, love the accent, friendly faces, positive attitudes, and the way they treat Americans is as welcoming and with as the way we trea them.
And that alone, is truly refreshing.
I agree about Australia, but I don’t like their gun ban.
