What I would have answered your question about my country (Australia) is largely already in Nick Nicholas’ answer to Do Australians like being Australian citizens?
But I’ll pretend I didn’t already answer it.
Many of the best things about Australia, it shares with the US, and they have a similar reason.
- The optimism.
- The social mobility.
- The relative (relative) lack of sectarian and ethnic conflict.
- The relative affluence.
In addition:
- The professed (professed) egalitarianism.
- The irreverence.
- The healthy (healthy) skepticism.
- The relaxed attitude to life.
- The beaches.
- Lamb.
The best things about my country (Greece) are:
- The depth of history.
- The lyricism of both its high and its popular culture. Which is bound up with its depth of history—and not just its Ancient history.
- The ability of Greeks to have a good time, at any pretext.
- The level of political engagement, and political education.
- The theatricality of interaction between people.
- The beaches.
- Lamb.
