Which European country does America have the closest ties?

Asking out of curiosity, I'm interested in diplomacy.

EDIT: Please put a brief explanation on why you think it's a certain country :).

I would guess England.

The UK, easily.

The UK, as America does have a "special relationship" with them. If you get what I mean *nudge nudge wink wink* :P

The UK. America like to bend us over.

You can't be very interested in diplomacy if you weren't aware that the UK is the country that we have the closest ties with period. Even if you knew nothing of politics the fact that the UK is the only English speaking country in Europe should have been a hint that we probably have more in common with them than, say, France or Germany.gameguy6700

I was aware, I decided to refrain from sharing my opinion because I wanted to hear everyone else's and didn't want mine to make an influence, even if the answer is obvious.

Britain... you know, the country that the US fought against for independence.

Russia.

USA (heart) UK

I thought Canada. The two countries are more closely tied than anything else.F1_2004

Obviously the United Kingdom, only English speaking country, and they've helped each other out in many conflicts

Uk, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands. Just a guess and in that order most left being closest.

By far...

I'd say England was going to say United Kingdom, but dont they hate Scotland now for letting the Lockerbie bomber go.

The UK, and how different is british culture from american culture by the way?

lol we (england) hate Scotland too politically. Nice people though. both wales, scotland, and northern island leech of england. specifically london, since it really is the powerhouse of the british economy.

and yeah i can see Britain not being America's tee boy in the future now anymore.

I always thought that America had good ties with Wisconsin. I'll go with Wisconsin.Nerd_Man

What? I wasn't aware Wisconsin was a sovereign state. Hooray for our Wisconsinite independence now I guess.

The UK, and how different is british culture from american culture by the way?

They drive on the left side of the road, They like more dry intelligent humor while us americans like slap stick i.e groin shots and people falling down... UK has much MUCH cleaner public bathrooms and facilities etc. They are pretty much uniformally liberal while america is just all over the place with the middle of the country and the coasts bickering all the time. And Britian seems to have higher standards of what makes it onto the radio in terms of music while we play any pop crap that we can find.

America is also much more acceptable of violence in TV, games, the media etc. but are horrified about nudity, And they are more open about nudity but seem to be horrified about violence. Or atleast thats what it seems like to me. And thats pretty much it lol, Honestly UK could pass off as just another US state because our culture varies a ton depending on where you live because its such a big country

The UK. Although, despite what some people may say currently, the US and France have also had an unique and close relationship.

Everything from that point onwards was completely wrong.

Can you elaborate on that US and France relationship?
