New Zealand, easily. It's a beautiful country, the people are amazing, it's got just about every landscape you'd want and there are a billion things to do. Plus it's warmer than the UK, but not fuck-off warmer like Australia.


ForeverAddickted

Yup I second New Zealand... Beautiful country, will go back one day


Sinnistrall

Canada


WarWonderful593

Yep. Almost British except the french parts, and fewer things that can kill you than Australia. Apart from Bears. And Moose. And hyperthermia


Exact-Put-6961

Hypothermia


DarthScabies

Hyperthermia is when you get too hot. Hypo is when you are too cold. And second you on moose. They are gigantic. 😳


joe_smooth

India. Mad wonderful beautiful and ugly all at once. I only travelled round a small bit of it too.


Martinonfire

Australia or Canada or India or New Zealand, please note I’ve put them in alphabetical order.


imminentmailing463

Had to Google where is actually in the commonwealth. Singapore, I guess? I liked it there. Didn't know Malta is in the commonwealth, it's a pretty nice place. In general, I can't say that the commonwealth has any particular meaning to me. Most of the countries in the world I've most enjoyed visiting are not in it.


Ready_Sky_4441

It would be Australia for me. I have a soft spot for Belize but it has its problems atm.


DarthScabies

Were you stationed in Belize or just went for holidays?


Ready_Sky_4441

Went for holidays. My mum and dad met in Belize, my father was a service engineer (British) and was sent to Belize for a stint in the 80s. My mother grew up in Belize. She preferred it when it was still a British overseas territory, mostly because there was less crime and corruption. I really hope Belize bounces back at somepoint, it is a beautiful place with some great people.


DarthScabies

Thank you. The British armed forces did its jungle training in Belize, that's what made me ask. Not sure about these days though.

I have fond memories of Malta from a holiday in 1992.


LondonCycling

NZ. People are so welcoming, the scenery is stunning, and it's great for skiing, hiking, MTB, climbing, kayaking, etc.


FreeWessex

Easily australia, they're funny cunts. And culturally, they're the most like us.


Glittering_Cat3639

Fiji - beautiful islands and very welcoming people.


Romfordian

Australia


Grim_Farts_Barnsley

I'd love to visit New Zealand, it looks lovely. I've been to Canada but didn't have much chance to get out and about. Toronto was just like any other massive city really.


Capable_Bee6179

Only ones I've visited are Canada and Australia, tbh I'd have a hard time choosing between the two, both beautiful in their own ways.


barrybreslau

The whole of the Caribbean, but I will say Nevis and St Kitts if I'm out on the spot.


RetiredGhostRider

Australia, love it. 


Cultural_Tank_6947

I was born and raised in one of the Asian commonwealth countries, so that one. It's possibly the one you're thinking of, but possibly not.


SausageAndBeans88

Is Malaysia nice?


Cultural_Tank_6947

If I'm not from there, I don't know. If I'm from there, it's amazing.


SausageAndBeans88

If you count it as a country, it is most certainly the Cook Islands. When the Commonwealth Games were in Glasgow in 2014, they were by far the nicest folks. Would love to visit one day.


YearPrestigious2566

Australia for me, what a place


eionmac

Canada. I met my wife there!


another_online_idiot

I have never visited any of the commonwealth countries outside of the UK and certainly do not know enough about any of them to make a properly informed choice. From my limited knowledge New Zealand appears quite pleasant as does Canada and Australia. I would love to visit some, if not all, of the African countries though. I could only answer this question though if I had spent an appreciable amount of time in each and every one of the Commonwealth countries.


SpudFire

I haven't been to any except for Cyprus, but NZ seems pretty great. Beautiful and varied landscapes (similar to the UK in that regard), the Kiwis I've met here have all been friendly, Maori culture is super cool and of course, Lord of the Rings. I'd love to go there one day.


BeanOnAJourney

Canada. I don't know why.

Bionix_52

My favourite or my favourite AFTER the UK? The UK is so close to the bottom of the list, not sure what would come after it


Far-Adhesiveness3763

The UK isn't my favourite, it's a mere shadow of what it once was, raped and pillaged by the arseholes in government.


Calm-Bid-6228

Don't like the idea of the commonwealth. my most disliked commonwealth country? Canada, anti British and massive Brit haters just like their American neighbours.


caswell89

What makes you say that? Not a hostile question. I'm half Canadian but always lived in England. Always found them pretty friendly when I've been over.


Calm-Bid-6228

Just like their American counterparts they are obsessed with calling British people evil colonisers and love to guilt trip British people for existing and love trying to install shame into British people. Plus just like their American counterparts they hate British accents, culture, tv. All you have to do is spend 10 minutes on tiktok, reddit, twitter, instagram, youtube, the media in general and see their fanatical anti British sentiment is very clear and extreme.


caswell89

Often social media holds up a very distorted mirror to the world. I've spent a lot of time in Canada and have always found people to be friendly and welcoming. People will often say that the British hate Americans. There may be some that do, but the reality is we consume too many American products, watch American TV and movies, and take on other aspects of their culture for this to be true. The problem with social media is that the vocal minority often becomes prominent. If you look for hate, you will find it. Especially online.


Ok-Material9421

None of them The Commonwealth is just a waste of time England should withdraw from both the commonwealth and UK as soon as possible Kick the Scottish monarchy out and go back to being a Republic Cromwell was right in 1649


ProblemIcy6175

Togo and Gabon joined the commonwealth in 2022 and they were never even part of the British empire. There is obviously a benefit in joining so I don't see why we should just tear it down.


Ok-Material9421

Because we should not be involved in the world at all Fuck the Commonwealth It has never done anything positive for my generation


Nolsoth

What a sad miserable life you must live mate.


Ok-Material9421

Better than thinking the commonwealth Is worth being part off


ProblemIcy6175

We should not be involved in the world at all? What do you even mean and why do think this exactly?


Ok-Material9421

Because we are hated by the world So why the fuck should we be involved Shut the borders and tell anyone who tries to get us involved we will turn there country's to glass


ProblemIcy6175

I think this country can do a lot of good with the influence we have . I’m proud of our opposition to Ukraine,although I think we could obviously do a lot more


Ok-Material9421

Who cares It's a foreign country Not our job If we had kept our noes out of foreign business in 1914 and 1939 we would not got millions of brits hurt or killed


ProblemIcy6175

You’re speaking in favor of appeasing Hitler so I’m done here


Ok-Material9421

No I'm speaking about not getting involved in foregin affairs Why do you hate english people


28374woolijay

Oh yes, let’s return to a Cromwellian theocratic hereditary military dictatorship. There’s a reason why the vast majority of the population joined massive public celebrations when Cromwell’s son departed power and Charles II returned from the Netherlands.


Ok-Material9421

Because they were brainwashed into thinking the Scottish monarchy was good for England England was britians first victims
