Well, that is a fantastic list.  Iceland and NZ are fantastic bang-for-your-buck, as is Morocco, though I don’t think Iceland is quite diverse enough for me to put it #1. US maybe best overall (thanks, 49th and 50th states!).  Can’t argue with Chile as a top contender either.  Throw Argentina in the same mix?

 
I should mention that some people here are VERY sensitive to others talking about places they might have been or would like to go, so tread carefully!

Iceland keeps a dream-like residence in my mind.

And to answer your question, Chile/Argentina = 68/32. Lot's of common turf, but Atacama!

 
I’m not that familiar with Morocco. I would replace with Italy. I haven’t seen all of Italy but what I seen is amazing.

 
In no particular order(this is not a ranking)

1.  Russia

2.  Croatia

3.  Canada

4.  Peru

5.  Iceland

Of the previously mentioned, I have not been to Morocco...and don't plan on going anytime soon after two European girls were beheaded while visiting.

Peru has mountains, glaciers, tropical rain forests, oceans, deserts, Vinicunca and Machu Pichu. It's a contender.

It would be my number one...I've seen all of the topographies you've mentioned firsthand.

My trek through the Andes from glaciers to tropical rain forest is one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

 
I've been to Spain, Germany, Czechia, Ecuador, Jamaica, Mexico and, of course, the US.

My top 5 geographies would be (in order) US, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Ecuador.

Argentina is a bigger, greener Chile.

 
I would just love to travel enough to have an informed opinion on the matter.

One of my favorite pastimes is exploring places on google earth.  There simply isn't enough time in my life for me to truly explore everywhere I want to visit.

 
Gotta have US at the top. Pretty much everything here and lots of it is somewhat accessible.

Haven't been to China but they have to have a lot of variety. 

Good add of Chile. It has a ton of variety and terrain. 

Japan has a lot going on in somewhat small space.

Love that South eastern Germany, Bavaria, Austria, Northern Italy region but it's a lot of the same thing.

 
Russia's a big pile of bugs, ice & empties. You can have it.

Italy's a good pick. When you got two mountain ranges, two seas & Sicily to boot, and the ruins of a great empire scattered thru it, that's doing something. From Alta Via to Agrigento (i wish you could smell the sea air & citrus trees & history that goes w this one), with canals & blue grotti in between, mmmmWAA!!

Good pick. Great shoreline & islands, impressive mountains and this. Next to Patagonia and the site of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (because war has prevented me from completing my tour of the Seven Wonders of the World sites), Plitvice is the place i most want to experience..

Maybe I'm confuse by the question, but I would think the US would be #1.  I mean, we have every single form of geography that you can experience.  You want a tropical island?  We got it.  You want the tundra in the Arctic Circle?  We got that.  You want tall mountains?  We got that.  You want grassy plains?  We got that.  You want beautiful, sandy beaches?  We got that.  You want volcanoes?  We got that.  You want deserts?  Why?  But we do have that.

We pretty much have everything.

Yeah, that was my thought as well.  I think maybe a tropical jungle is the only thing we don't really have (Amazon/Congo type), but Brazil and central African countries don't have near the range of environments we do.

Australia has some unique geography you wouldn't find anywhere else.  I really don't know much about China, but I assume they are a likely contender for a top spot (as long as they aren't polluting the whole place).

I've never been, but I would guess Hawaii has a tropical jungle, no?
