What are the best things about your country?

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.
