I'm German and I choose the Netherlands because they have a lot of variety.

I am Dutch and would chose Germany! Products from Germany are well made and of high quality
Now kiss!
I would go with Italy. I'm just too addicted to good pasta.
Germany. Vroom vroom!
Ok, let's break this down a bit.
What are your main needs? What are your secondary needs? What are your nice to have?
For main needs like food and drinks, obviously France. You have cheese, various meats, baguettes, vine (the beer is also not too bad).
Secondary needs like transportation, things you need around the house, hobbies...people would say Germany but I could force a France in here again because Renault, Moulinex, mountains, good literature and cheese
Nice to haves: Sweden because of Spotify.
Hmm how are you going to order mountains from France?
Personally I think I'd go Italy for food (I love pasta) and Germany for everything else because I prefer German cars and love beer... But typing this out made me realize that Sweden would get me Volvo which also makes nice cars, as well as IKEA furniture and they have a pretty good selection. But then the Germans also make furniture and appliances, I just don't know their furniture brands lol
I don’t think Spotify adds enough value to anyone’s life that would justify choosing Sweden as the choice.
Germany. Cars, appliances and tools (Bosch), furnature, food stuff (Lidl et al.) And even skis (Volkl). The list goes on.
To be honest until a few days ago I spent zero thoughts about where the stuff I buy is from so it's difficult to tell. Spontaneously I'd say Poland cause I love all the outdoor gear from Helikon-Tex, can't think of anything else right now that I really really need from other countries.
Sweden
Austria
Probably Germany I'd say.
