So the other thread made me wonder, what makes people proud of their country ? I'd like to hear about good things in your country

I will start with my home country first. India.

Cultural Diversity (food, literature, music, art all inclusive)
Spirituality
Customs and traditions
History, going back to thousands of years
Largely peaceful nation
One of the fastest developing economy
Limited government interference in people's life.

Now, USA

Value of independence
High quality of life associated with a developed nation
Education System
Medical Facilities
Science and Technology
Mature democracy (let's not get into the details )
Beautiful Country with rich geographic diversity

nobody got anything to say ?

Relatively easy to setup a business.

easy to scam the government.

i have the freedom to volunteer my service to it.

definitely the freedom to have an education and live the "dream". it's pretty much possible to do anything in my country and i don't take it for granted.
