France is the second most admired country according to the survey. France is the largest country in the European Union. It is the fifth largest economy by nominal GDP and eighth largest economy by purchasing power parity. It is the most visited country in the world, with 82 million foreign tourists visiting the country annually.

GDP (PPP): $2.130 trillion
Population: 65,073,482

  After you finish your fries, eat the ketchup packet. When you add your pasta to boiling water, toss the bag into the pot, too. If these instructions sound confusing to you, it's only because you haven't yet heard of Notpla, a London-based startup company that is designing a seaweed-based replacement for single-use plastic packaging.
