Should beautifulness of a place be determined by variety or square mile?

Hear me out. There's this guy on Instagram who pits 2 countries, continents, states against each other, and has people vote for which they think is more beautiful. It caused quite a firestorm in the comments, and I got involved in a couple quarrels myself.

New Zealanders and Swisses were claiming their countries are more beautiful than the US, and me my fellow Americans were arguing that the US is more beautiful! With China being the only other reasonable contender.

So, OUR argument was, the US has far more variety then those countries, and landscapes you can't find elsewhere.

THEIR argument was, that the majority of the U. S. is ugly, while they're countries have more beauty per square mile.

On the flip side, some Brazilian guy called me an idiot and wanted to beat me up through the screen, because I made the same argument that they were making against the US.

But here's the thing, I make the SAME aguments, and I think BOTH are correct, depending how you look at it. Although I would pick NZ or Norway over Switzerland, as Switzerland has no coast.

THEN, we have countries like Italy, France, Lebanon, maybe even Spain that have BOTH variety AND beauty per square mile! So one of those could also be considered the most beautiful.

So what do you guys think? Let's settle this once and for all!
