Globe-traveling Brits have spoken. The United States has more beautiful people than any other country.

Of course, concedes Briton-based OnePoll.com, the United States has more people than No.2, Brazil, No. 3 Spain or Nos. 4, 5 or 6.

“The likes of Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt all help America’s image as a hot bed of good-looking people,” according to the OnePoll.com news release. “But with a population of more than 300 million, they do have an unfair advantage.”

Blond, tanned surfers put Australia in fourth place, followed by Italy in fifth and Sweden, with model Victoria Silvstedt, was sixth. The pasty English made it to the seventh spot.

“When you think of good-looking countries, Sweden, Italy, France and Brazil talent all spring to mind before us lazy, pale Brits,” the news release said.

India, France and Canada rounded out the top 10.

"America has got a lot on offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet,” OnePoll.com said.

Top 20 best-looking nations:

1. United States

2. Brazil

3. Spain

4. Australia

5. Italy

6. Sweden

7. England

8. India

9. France
