What are the top three things we should emulate from each country?

Non-Pakistanis are welcome to post, but please post about other countries. not your own. We don't want soapbox speeches.

I'll start...

China:
- Ethic of hard work.
- Deference to the greater, communal good.
- Strive for self-reliance.

India:
- Working democracy despite the same challenges as Pakistan.
- Very good education system.
- Sense of national pride.

Iran:
- National pride in the face of international pressure.
- Strive for self-reliance.
- Respect for ancient heritage, including pre-Islamic past.

Turkey:
- Good, balanced relations with Islamic and Western countries.
- Strive for self-reliance.
- Always ready to help a friend.

Qatar:
- Invest revenues wisely for the future.
- Freedom of the press.
- Willingness to change even the most conservative society.

Israel:
- Can-do attitude.
- Cultivate and leverage friends in powerful countries.
- Superb education system.

USA:
- Bill of Rights, and the Constitution in general.
- Checks and balances between the three arms of government (executive, legislative, judiciary).
- No-nonsense, can-do attitude.

Japan:
- Obsession with quality.
- Can match even the US in technological prowess.
- No-nonsense, can-do attitude. Proved to the world that size doesn't matter.

Australia:
- Respect for other cultures.
- Laid-back and relaxed, yet still get things done.
- Pragmatic foreign policy.

Germany:
- Never say die. Got trampled over and over and came back more powerful each time.
- Strong work ethic.
- Pride in nation and culture.
 
Think Pakistan needs to develop it's tourist industry it should launch a marketing campaign like the 'incredible india' TV ads we did.

Not sure if that would be money well spent given the war next door, especially since our usual tourist spots are in the north.

There is potential to develop the coastline as a resort destination, but its an unrealized potential as of yet.

Australia:
- Respect for other cultures
.

I differ from this Point alone

Let's not go negative towards any country. Keep it positive, please.
 
China

-Vision for their country
-Well developed official machinery
-Work ethics

US

-Entrepreneurship culture and innovation
-Education
-Ability to manage a myriad of international relations

Pakistan

-Resilience of the people
-Free press
-Food and language (As it is near to India's)

Israel

-Military
-No non sense attitude
-Leveraging its relations to its advantage

Germany

-Engineering
-Culture
-Never say die attitude

UK

-Pragmatic foreign policy
-Leveraging their past status as a superpower
-Education system
 
Would it not be true that instead of emulating other countries one should find out what is good about one's own country and culture? I mean can South asians ever have work ethics like the Japs or behave in a reserved way like Germans?
 
Bangladesh:

1) Developing a secular framework for the state.
2) Opposing intolerance and banning violent literature by religious scholars.
3) Continuing it's democratic process and remaining low key in international affairs.

Currently Pakistan is emulating Afghanistan and Sudan with a pinch of 5th century Arabia to great effect.

Can you explicate on it?
