I could say that the best thing about my country is it’s being democratic. The decision always come from the majority of the citizens. Before, my country is had been colonized by some powerful country and that’s what our heroes have fought for. Unfortunately whether I admit it or not the worst thing about my country is being corrupt by the previous government. How I wish the present won’t do the same. How about you? What is the best and worst thing about your country?

Bad government is bad for the country - I guess the citizen has to choose wisely.If the citizen is dumbass then it is dumbass country.
Food is nice, weather is ok without any big natural disaster , economic is ok not going up or down , but the worst the rampant inefficient government people , and the goats cows pigs animals inside the parliament which cause havoc to the citizen, other thing is the rampant road accidents ,crony company sipping the country money. Religious fanatic and unfair treatment to its citizen.

The best thing about my country is the security. You can walk alone in the middle of night rather peaceful but security is getting worse in recent times. As for the bad, it is too pressurising to stay here and there is no real democracy.

Mayrah, i suppose if any president that bypass his 5 or 6 yeasr in government will be another corrupt person. From where i live, we are not that well too, although the economy is considere as one of the best growing in the worldwide ranking. But i gess if the power of law is undermined by corrupt politicians, it won't be " the power of law " anymore. Potilics is what determine anything in every country in the whole world. Nonetheless mayrah, thank you god for everything & anything, compared to many other nations, we can say we are not that bad, but human always tend to get better & bette, am optimistic about the future in my country :-)

The best thing about my country is that there are many historical landmarks and places. There is also the rich history of my country. People in my country are hospitable and kind. The worst thing in my country is that it is corrupt and full of poverty. Many people suffer in my country because of poverty.

In fact this is a very complicated and tough question and I am unable to reply to it as a post. It can be written to an article, at least:) In brief, I think the best part of my country is the people. They are diligent, kind and friendly. On the contrary, the officers are greedy, lazy and does nothing but getting more profit from the people. I love China

The best thing about my country is that we are officially a nation of about 100 different cultures, almost all known religions are thriving here and we still stay together! The worst is that we fight amongst each other! Corruption, discrimination and all other bad things are there but still we want our country to prosper. We are Indians first and last.

The best thing about my country is the fact that we are free to do a lot more than many, as long as it is not illegal. I think the fact we can criticize the government and not get locked up and tortured is a great thing. A great thing indeed to say the very least. The worst thing is that some of our leaders that are elected might not be the best. Politicians, what do you have to say. They are rarely a good thing. Well some of them are but a lot of them are only off to their own interests.

best thing about my country is definitely the food, bolstered by the fact that we are multicultural and we pretty much eat every other culture's foods, barring any religious restrictions. Worst thing... perhaps the annoying politics. No one seem to do anything right other than being very good at mudslinging, both the incumbent party and the opposition.
