Ukraine with the UK a close second (but I like the component parts more than the UK itself).

Because it's painfully obvious nobody genuinely wants Uruguay and that it's just the "stop America" option for Europeans/Canadians.

So far one Frenchman and two Americans have said they vote for Uruguay, no Canadians.

If you include CrabCake it is 50/50.

Why is it surprising that people would vote for the country they're from?  Sure, the whole "beacon of freedom" thing can be overdone, and large swathes of our political culture and built environment are stupidly dysfunctional.  But we took your continent's (not just yours, of course) tired, poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free (hell yearning to just breathe in many cases), and more often than not have fulfilled that promise.  That's a legacy worth celebrating.

In other words,

USA! USA! USA!

Besides, we already had Canada and Mexico win. Only fair to complete the continent.

This is probably the hardest vote for me yet... I love both the US and UK, but I'll go with the UK. Went for the UK from my happy memories there, and my cultural heritage.

43 votes in and the United Kingdom has only a single vote. Literally tied with Uganda and Uzbekistan.
