United States of course

JK.

I'd say England.

least interesting? not sure. Maybe Switzerland. They never fight in any wars.

[Richelieu]

Italy, France, Germany, Russia, China.

I'm not exactly a history buff, but I'd say Israel.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Probably England. There was a lot of fun wrangling over who gets the monarchy and with Henry VIII, you had religious back and forth bickering and then with colonialism, many other issues came into play about administration of the Empire.

[Drake Tungsten]

China, probably, just through sheer amount.

[Boris Godunov]

If by "country" you mean nation-state, I'd have to go with the UK, followed closely by Germany, France and Russia.

If you mean it more in a geographic sense, undoubtedly Mesopotamia, followed closely by China and the Italian peninsula.

not really. Japan's history is boring. Germany's history is too short. Though what little of it, there was, was quite interesting.

Japan's history was quite long in fact, and so was Korea's. So do quite a number of SE Asian countries, e.g. the history behind Angkor Wat.

I think the histories of ancient American cultures are interesting, too. Just that we don't know much about them.

[Immortal Wombat]

China, Britain, "Italy" maybe.

[JohnT]

Most interesting? The Germans, especially from 1450-1945.

Least interesting? Has anything important ever happened in Finland?

[Immortal Wombat]

Important like the Winter War? Or Santa Claus?
