Americans are sooo parochial and have terrible accents.
SoldierOfFortune look outside the square you live in. There's a great big world out there with an abundance of countries that have as much opportunity as America has or even more opportunity. Life is what you make it. It doesn't owe anybody a living.

I live in the US and I hate it here! Our accent sucks, so many shootings and war. The government is also corrupted, it is extremely dirty, and all we have is GMO products. They keep spying on us. Mine top pick would be UK, mostly England. Get this off of here!

Get this off the list. America isn't the land of the free. Slaves in the Civil War ran up to Canada for a better life. Canada IS THE BEST!

Obviously all of the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and the US are the largest English-speaking countries. It's a no-brainer. It's their native language. The other countries listed here have English as their 2nd or 3rd language or not at all so are NOT large English-speaking countries.

It's not about land size. It's about the actual number of English-speaking people in a country. More people speak English in the UK because (a) it's the UK's official language and (b) it's a very large population who speak it. Ditto the U.S.
