MSN UK has launched a list of countries with the best lookers in the world. Here it is!

With the Euro 2012 football championship underway and the Olympics coming up next month, website MSN UK has offered up a list of the 'sexiest' countries from across the globe.

In the following pages, we bring you their findings, alongside some of each nation's hottest citizens -- plus, get to see how India fared!

10. USA

Working our way up from the bottom, we have the United States in tenth place. The website describes Americans as 'a friendly and diverse bunch' -- and let's not forget that it's also the birthplace of some of the world's most beautiful women, such as supermodels Kate Upton and Marisa Miller!

9. Germany

Aside from the fact that the country has given us the likes of Claudia Schiffer and Heidi Klum, Germany also makes it to the ninth spot in the poll because of its 'tasty sausages' and the fact that 'its countrymen are good with their money', according to MSN UK.

8. Spain

A party-favourite destination, Spain's warm weather, seaside vistas and beautiful people like Penelope Cruz see it to eighth position.

7. Italy

The website cited Italy in seventh place thanks to its stunning women like Elisabetta Canalis, the hunky football team and the country's 'great wine, food and culture'.

6. India

We came in at a respectable number six, thanks to 'yoga, the Kama Sutra and Frieda Pinto'. What do you think?

5. Mexico

Mexico, described by MSN UK as 'fiery as a furnace', rounds off the top five with its Mariachi music, tequila and of course, sizzling senoritas like Salma Hayek and supermodel Elsa Benitez!

4. Australia

Aussies are apparently the fourth sexiest people in the world -- after gazing upon stunners like Jennifer Hawkins and Miranda Kerr, who can disagree?

3. UK

'Charming and well-dressed' Britishers nabbed third place in the MSN UK list -- you could call it favouritism, but the sight of an English rose like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will dispel any doubt!

2. France

Fabulous France was the runner-up in the list -- the website states that everything sounds sexier in a French accent and it's true! Plus, beauties like Laetitia Casta and Marion Cotillard call the country home.

1. Brazil
