Which country is culturally the closest to Germany?

Vote and discuss

[Ballist]

Well, obviously Austria.

[Ouistreham]

Other than (obviously) Austria and the German speaking part of Switzerland, it has to be The Netherlands.
(Though most Dutch are reluctant to admit it.)

Same way of life, same social habits, similar popular traditions, and a partially mutually intelligible language.

Does anyone know who to add the poll, now that the thread is already published?

[curupira]

Austria. Then the German speaking part of Switzerland. And after the Flemish speaking part of Belgium as well as the Netherlands.

I can add it for you.

[LightHouse89]

Austria, Lichtenstein, Switzerland and Sweden.

[Wunderkind]

I can add it for you.

That would be fine, thanks. Could you add Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, The Netherlands, Danmark and England and Sweden to the poll?
