Just a small glimpse of Pakistan ...amazing beauty and rich history all wasted by the corrupt rulers, terrorists :'(
Which Karachi beach is this? Haven't seen that arch. I've only been to Clifton many times.
*image search* That's Mexico! Cabo San Lucas, apparently.
I live about an hour from Tijuana. Would you recommend a visit there?
lol at USA and China. 2 pages of people carpet-bombing the thread with US pics and not a single building or population center to be seen. I wonder why?
If 90% of your population lives in ugly shitholes 95% of the time, then your country is not the most beautiful country on earth, I'm sorry.

I've lived in China, trust me when I tell you that it didn't feel like I was in the most beautiful place on earth, no matter how much spectacular scenery I could reach by riding a stinky bus for three days.
The most beautiful country on earth is the country where everything is beautiful, from nature to cities and everything in between.
Yes I was really going for accuracy with that, you got me there.

Well thanks for that insight, Mr. Arbiter of How to Determine the Most Beautiful Country on Earth.
We need to press the reset button on this thread now that we know the official guidelines on forming an opinion.

I think there isn't a way to say there's a country which is more beautiful. Each one has its own beauty and in a very unique way.
I'm posting some pictures of my country btw, Brazil
Fernando de Noronha
The Amazon Forest and River
The biggest fish there, the Pirarucu
Gruta do Lago Azul, in Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul
Lençois Maranhenses
Cataratas do Iguaçu (Iguassu Falls)

here is a GREAT example of the beautiful scenery in the province I live in Canada.
Alberta:

It really is a lovely place to live. And there are 9 other provinces and 3 territories that are just as beautiful in their own way.
I'm biased of course, but Canada is pretty. Maybe not the PRETTIEST country though. Some of the pictures in this thread are mind boggling.

Awesome thread! The world is beautiful, too bad is full of humans..
Awesome vid. Alberta represent!
We need some Okanagan (BC Interior) love in here.
I think you may be crazy..
There is so much beauty in Canada. Same as anywhere.

Possibly, or I'm just in a pessimistic mood, the above posts definiately show a beautiful side to Canada.

I've lived in: Japan, Russia, Germany, Czechoslovakia, the US, and England. By far the most beautiful country has been the US. As others have said, the diversity is amazing. You want mountains, you got 'em. You want canyons, you got 'em. Ditto for beaches of all kinds, prairies etc. But the absolute most beautiful spot I've even been is Prague. I didn't live in Canada, but I have been to New Brunswick. Stunning as well. The weather in Canada precludes me from ever living there, though.

Most of the world is a beautiful place in different ways. If I had to narrow it down, I'd say New Zealand, Australia, United States, China, Norway, Switzerland and most pacific islands.

The places I posted in California are all just a drive away. One of the reasons I love living here. We have beautiful cities too: San Fran, Monterey, San Diego, even parts of LA are beautiful.

Australia and New Zealand look quite amazing. I want to go eventually.
I went to Atacama. The night sky is very nice. That picture is a long-exposure photo so it doesn't look like that, but you can see the milky way with the naked eye a little. It's quite nice to watch the stars at night
Patagonia is very nice too (southern Chile and Argentina). The best sunsets I have ever seen in my life (much better than Santorini), the sky is just full of colors at sunset and clouds of all sorts of shapes.

Yellowstone National Park, USA is the most beautiful place I've ever been to.
Where is this on Google Maps?

I love watching the Dakar South America Race
My home country, Costa Rica.

the Plitvice National Park in Croatia is just stunning

That Naica cave is some straight video game shit, yo.
Japan, New Zealand, Italy, Costa Rica are all contenders. But check out this China noise.
I really want to visit China one day.
And I'm appreciating all the love for Pakistan. Having been to murree, it really is awesome.

How about you let us have one thread about beauty without this kind of ugly.
Driving down Cambie St in Vancouver, toward downtown, just before Broadway, during a clear day, in Winter with the capped mountains, with the new BC Place lit up.... never ceases to amaze me. Beautiful skyline. I hate that I don't live there anymore.
US or China, I guess, for sheer diversity. Though I haven't travelled either extensively.

Also, was snowboarding on Cypress a week ago on a clear day. The view of the city, the surrounding mountains, and the valley was phenomenal. We could actually see Mount Baker very clearly in the distance (and it looked big), but maybe I shouldn't mention that since it's technically in the US.
Post pictures of your country: the thread
I'm not complaining really, but we know this is what everyone is going to do. Amazing photographs help a lot as well, they could make hell holes urban monstrosities seem charming.
I'm not saying the night sky in the Atacama desert isn't breathtaking, but is not really very different from any other place without light pollution. It will never look like that for us though, thats a photograph with immense amounts of exposure. But I've seen the night sky away from cities, and it is indeed amazing.
I'm to lazy to embed images, so I will just link Colombia's landscapes from GIS.
We are truly megadiverse though, as in actually being the most megadiverse country per mile squared. We are very strategically placed, only country with Caribbean seas, pacific coasts, Andean mountains and amazon jungles, all in one.

To show you guys what I mean by the incredible view of the night sky at the Atacama Desert, here's a picture. I WANT TO GO THERE SO BAD.

Such a shame that so much of it is dangerous. I'd love to backpack around Colombia, but I'd be very limited.

US has the diversity but China has some lost world shit going on. They have monkeys with blue faces and shit
Look at this fucken guy
Too bad they are doing an awful job protecting it

Then no country is beautiful, so this thread is pointless. But, let's ignore the fact that shitholes exist and focus on what could be called beautiful about a country.

If it wasn't for security issues there, I would've loved to visit Iraq, the cradle of civilization, I want to visit every thing there since they are considered the source while i consider every civilization around it is just a poor man carbon copy of what they achieved.

Nothing beautiful about large cities.

The Google view doesn't do it justice, though.

Here's one state in the US, New Mexico.
White Sands. Hint: That's not snow.
Carlsbad Caverns:
I don't remember where this one is from, but likely northern New Mexico.
Anasazi Ruins:
Volcanos:
Water too!
