57. The Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark

I'm particular to The Netherlands and Germany since I have lived in those two for years at a time, but I was also in Sweden for quite a while, worked in Denmark as well and found those to be politically to my liking. I know the Netherlands has had it's own influx of RW religious fundi politics more recently so I can only vouch for their progressive attitudes from 2001 and earlier.

Iceland sounds great but I have no personal experience with that country.
