I agree. Countries as a whole are not unbiased, people are. If you have any doubt, look to some of the eejits that have posted in this forum. I have met eejits of many nationalities, and equally as many open minded, informed and rational individuals from same countries.

Countries are either well balanced or not. By that I mean having a good working government where people are happy and well provided for, socially and economically. I believe Sweden is currently on the top of that list.

Right now I would say the US is pretty low on the list, as we have become so polarised politically, and made several poor choices in the international arena. The US is quite insulated as compared to other first world countries, and we probably have one of the least advanced world views in my opinion, due to our lack of unbiased education about world issues.
