Your country, Positives and Negatives

[Egg Nog]

I came up with an idea for a survey on everyone's own country. This should be fairly simple. Just follow suit with how I did mine... what you choose can be modern or within recent history (lets say, since the 50s or so).

Best part: Health care system (difficult to think of this one)
