"Cavourote" countries?

The closest thing to "cavourote" on the Net is "Cavourite". Which is a fictional substance invented by a fictional physicist named "Cavour" with anti gravity properties...in an early sci fi novel by H.G. Wells in 1901 called "Journey to the Moon"(the protagonists build a space ship to go to the Moon made of the stuff). :lol:

If its a typo for "favorite" then...I dunno. Hafta to list my own country, the US. After that...if I was forced to live abroad...there are a number tied for second place. New Zealand is an English speaking country with nice scenery. So I will go with New Zealand.

The Netherlands and Italy. I had to choose from countries I have actually visited, as I don't know enough about other countries. I only visited Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It's a very pretty city and people are riding bikes everywhere and generally seem to have a good attitude, though I know it's not perfect. Italy I'm very familiar with. Italian people know how to live in a pleasant way. But politically it's quite bad, especially right now. I live in the US but it's hard to think of it as a favorite, especially now with all the Trump support.

There are too many factors for me to take into account!!

Likely it's in between Canada and the Scandinavian countries. However, I've always had some kind of fascination with the cultures of England and France. Maybe, Germany, too. It stems more from their culture hundreds of years ago. Like the architecture, music, etc. Also Greece.

Aside from the fact that America is my birth home, and the Philippines is where I currently live, I have always been fond of Canada and the Republic of Ireland (Éire).

I don't like the US and I've never been anywhere else, so I couldn't say. I have a friend who always infodumps about why everything is better in Germany, so maybe that would be on the list.
