Top Ten Most Overrated Countries on TheTopTens
India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Its capital is New Delhi. Some other major cities are Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahemdabad. The most spoken languages are Hindi and English, but there are 22 official Indian languages. They're only on the top because of vote-botters. Other than that, they're not exactly too prevalent either way.
The only reason I'm voting for this is because of the bots.
WHEN WILL THEY STOP?!
This is always higher on every country list
They try to make India look comparable to America in terms of Military when they don’t even make top three
The Philippines, officially the Republic of the Philippines, is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia. It is situated in the western Pacific Ocean and consists of around 7,641 islands that are broadly categorized under three main geographical divisions from north to south: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

They think that they are the best, they think it's the best country to live in and Filipinos are the most beautiful and cleanest people on the planet, excuse me? This is one of the poorest countries in Asia and has a very high crime rate as well, and the women aren't attractive most of them have ugly face and unattractive bodies, and they are intelligent and the country is high tech clean, what?
Not just that, they are always hacking the lists to attack other Asian countries higher and post rude comments on Japan, South Korea, China and Singapore
probably because they are feeling jealous because they are rich and successful when they aren't.
Philippines is high on many positive lists and the commenters strongly agree on it. But when it's high on any negative lists, the commenters complain and get angry. There are countries way better than the Philippines such as China, Norway, South Korea, Canada, Japan, USA, Sweden, etc. but the Philippines is somehow near or even higher than their ranking. The Philippines is not a bad country but people need to stop worshipping Philippines like it's a completely flawless country and accept that it has its own problems like every country in the world.
The Philippines tend to be way too high on positive lists, and extremely low on negative ones. If that isn’t the case, than everyone complains. They are also the cause of the overhatred of Japan, South Korea, China and Singapore, all of which are WAY more prevalent than The Phillimediocrepinnes
I feel the praise has cooled down but still many people overlook the main problems of this country.
Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe.
It borders Norway to the west and Finland to the east, and is connected to Denmark in the southwest by a bridge-tunnel across the Öresund. At 450,295 square kilometers (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third-largest country in the European Union by area, with a total population of 10 million. Very overrated. Sweden this, Sweden that. The people who love Sweden more than Norway are immature idiotic kids who want to prove to other people that Sweden is better than Norway. While people who love Norway more than Sweden are mature intelligent people who don't have to prove that Norway is better than Sweden because they don't have to. Sweden is nothing more than a Norway wannabe even though Sweden is of no match against Norway. Norway is way better than Sweden in every way and it's a fact.
Sweden here, Sweden there, Sweden everywhere... but who pays attention to Norway? No one does, and that’s a problem.
Norway is actually better than Sweden and nobody cares
Norway needs attention too! And Finland too!
Norway and Finland are way better.

Urdu and English are official languages of Pakistan. World's second highest peak (K-2) and ninth highest peak (Nanga Parbat) are located in Pakistan. Not exactly talked often. It only has a lot of comment due to patriotic Pakistanis finding this site and Indians wanting to vent out their one-sided hatred on this country. I mean, I hardly see any notable Pakistani on many of the site's many lists.
That's funny because Pakistan actually is underrated. Why do people have to always take a jab at Pakistan?
Not sure if it is bot voted or not

New Zealanders are narcissistic believing they're the best people in the world. They are not even good-looking, but people say they are; Australians look way better than New Zealanders. The only thing New Zealand is good at is being an overrated country.
