  1. I would support both Denmark or Spain, over Germany, which acts as Denmark (for middle and lower middle class) and Spain (upper middle class business owners). Germany's GINI coefficient is fairly poor, for third highest taxed country (after Denmark and Belgium), and adult wealth ownership (worse than Slovenia, Malta, Portugal) is very low for GDP per capita (at par with other Nordic European countries). Profotability of major DAX companies are marginally better than US counterparts (e.g. SAP vs Oracle), yet salaries are about 75% worse than US companies for similar level of productivity. 65% of capital flows outside regular capital market. And profitable DAX companies as well as family owned Mittelstand companies are mostly domiciled outside Germany, in tax heavens like Switzerland, Luxembourg, Ireland. Making Germany basically a consortium of industrialists, than a country operating under a rule based jurisdiction.

  2. Countries like Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden have extremely self-serving liberalism and socialism in form of well guarded welfare state honey pots. As opposed to Anglo Saxon countries, where the concept of social equity is equal opportunity (ranking of Universities, transparent and centralised recruitment processes, point based immigration system), in Nordic European countries, it is equal outcome (high taxes funding moderately decent welfare systems). They might have liberal cannabis laws and gender neutral toilets, but the Corporate world is near 100% homogeneous, and neighbourhoods are divided along ethnic lines. Majority of the migrants semi or unskilled mass migrants, and most likely not visible minority (i.e. massive overrepresentation of Caucasian middle Easterners). Further there are real means of Institutional discrimination, to keep the migrants in blue collar job sectors over multiple generations to do the jobs refused by native nordic Caucasians.
