Where are you from?
Yes, I know we have a bunch of active threads. However I've been watching that several topics about countries are going on. So... In a single post you must to tell us what country/region/city you live and what's good/bad in there.
I live in Brazil - in the extreme south of Brazil. Here is quite developed, I don't know exactly about economic measure, but our HDI - human development index - is pretty high comparing to the other brazilian states. And it combines an economic measure, national income, with other measures, indices for life expectancy and education system... By the way, southerners are divided, but separatism is gaining momentum as hopes fade that answers to their grievances. For example, I'd love that south of brazil became one beautiful country, without stereotypes about brazilians as well as I'd love to see... Well, I think this is not the correct place to argument about why I'd love to in another country.
We chat in portuguese. This is a wonderful language because this is pretty complicated [We have, for example, more than 7O verb variations]. Why's it good? Simple, we can express ourselves pretty well, and other languages - like english - is easier to learn. [I feel sorry for english speakers that tries learn portuguese] ah, and everyone who speaks portuguese knows spanish instinctively as a bonus.
I feel everyone [that's not brazilian] thinks we live in the hottest country of the world. Indeed, most of brazilians live in it, but the southerners no. Here we have a winter that usually reach zero degrees celcius... Irrelevant but most of us is white and I'm too lazy to continue it.
