A very open question, hoping to get a wide range of responses Which groups or nations do you admire/respect (not necessarily like) in the world at this time (other than Sikhs)? It can be a Nation, Ethnicity or regions, or regions of a country. By this, I mean either the Political Leader or your experiences of the majority of the people you have met/heard about from that group. Looking for non-obvious/original opinions please. I will give some examples, and try to not repeat themes: I respect the leader of Hungary, Orban for upholding his beliefs on limiting immigration, and his stance to not support LGBT agenda being enforced on his country. The Germans and Japanese (and maybe Koreans) are world renowned for their ability in engineering and manufacturing of electrical goods. Scandinavians are known for having some of the highest living standards in the world and have not (to my knowledge) acquired the wealth from relatively recent looting of other nations. They are the 'safest' countries for women in the world also. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have successfully transitioned their economy from reliance on oil, and attract many tourists and businesses. Iran - a non-Arab country in the middle-East who seem to be great people whenever I have met them, and seem relatively friendly to non-Iranians. Italy - great culture , including food, fashion, landscape, extensive history and architecture, climate generally good. Eastern Europeans generally, are more 'manly' men then much of the 'West'
