What about your country makes you proud?

There's just too many things. Just some: happiest country in the world(statistically I guess), least corrupt, one of the safest countries, one of the highest freedom of press, one of the best education systems, good standard of living, some of our history like Winter War etc.
And in Valorant we obviously have Derke, Jamppi, Hoody, BONECOLD etc. who are really good.
In Rio there are places with high living standards like Barra da Tijuca
this guy is clearly someone who is rich and live in those places, but Rio de Janeiro sucks, horrible city, poluted seas, trash in streets, high violence index
one of the worst places in Brazil
the only capitals worth visiting in Brazil are Florianopolis and Curitiba, the rest sucks
have you ever been in Rio in first place? I don't think so, because you mentioned two cities, Angra dos Reis and Petropólis, compared them with Barra da Tijuca a neighborhood in Rio. Btw, Leblon is where the richest people in Brazil lives. Also, Barra da Tijuca social life is worse than shit, they shouldn't even be mentioned as part of Rio when you talk about social life.
We went from being the poorest country in the world to one of the richest in just over 50 years. That says a lot about our fighting spirit and hard working mentality. The Korean War fucked us over, a lot of people starved to death, a lot of people died through other means. It was hell on earth for my forefathers. Yet those who survived struggled for years after, because our country was in ruin, some were separated from friends and family over the 38th Parallel. And yet still, they managed to struggle through those dark ages, and help bring this country to the top.
Admiral Yi Sun-Shin. The greatest naval commander in history. ZERO recorded losses. Fought a 333 Imperial Japanese ship fleet with only 13 ships (25 to 1) AND WON. WITHOUT LOSING A SINGLE SHIP. Also built the Turtle Ship aka 거북선 which is fuckin sick. Also had one of the most badass final words ever: "The war is at its height – wear my armor and beat my war drums. Do not announce my death."
eSports. SK is pretty dominant at whatever eSport they have a large interest in (Starcraft, League, Overwatch). And don't tell me China is better than SK at League because every Worlds winning team has had Korean star players. Talent wise, we are the best country in the world. LCK<LPL though.
Son Heung-Min is a great football player. Big fan, ofc.
South Korea isn't perfect, but I'm still proud of some aspects of it.
I also have British citizenship but too lazy to list out everything I'm proud of regarding the U.K. Lots of stuff though, like Dunkirk, the Spitfire, etc.
Korea has mandatory national military service lul, and I am a Korean citizen.
yeah, Korea is pretty fucked. There's a dark side to it that most foreigners don't know about, same as Japan.
Not a huge military nerd, but I know just some small stuff. Really only bits and pieces from things I was interested in. I read a bit on the SAS and watched an Operations Room video breaking down the Iranian Embassy siege which was really interesting. I like stuff like that.
It's a proud moment for me as a Brit, because even though we made a blunder getting into that position in the first place it is an incredibly heartwarming and prideful moment to know that so many ordinary citizens in Britain brought their old personal boats and risked their lives to rescue those stranded soldiers. I read a story about a young child sailing all the way to that beach as well. When I watched the movie by Christopher Nolan, and Nimrod began playing with that scene...I lowkey teared up. I may not be British in blood, but I was born there and raised there, and I consider myself just as British as anyone else.
The society structure and culture (especially down south, can't talk for the north cause haven't been there)
Everyone supports each other , ppl are very close kit and typical functions like marriages , baby washes , 1st time house owner puja , etc have 100s of guests and go on for atleast a day if not 2 (even in the capitalist hell hole we live in )
And yeah the food , soooooooo spicy (also brits I have a question, ur elites invaded my country for spices but they hate spicy food themselves, THEM WHAT WAS THE FUCKING POINT OF ALL THAT BS???!!!!!)
I fuckin love some parts of Indian culture, especially the religious aspects. It was always really cool how interesting your gods are, and the stories about them. I also really like your food, curry ofc, but also naan is crazy good. Cuisine for a basic bitch foreigner but what can I say, its really delicious lol.
Even though Slumdog Millionaire was kinda criticised by many Indians I actually really like how they portrayed India. It may be kinda run-down in some places but it has a serious charm to it. India's culture is so complex that the complexity in and of itself is quite beautiful.
history...
Brazil has actually the most interesting history in the americas
Our independence was atypical and exotic, the king of Portugal decided to rule Brazil instead of Portugal
the green in our flag symbolises his house (House of Bragance) and the yellow of his wife (House of Habsburg) she was austrian
his daughter born in Brazil became queen of Portugal
and much more
but our history is also a shame
400 years of slavery
What do you mean?
The other latin american countries were colonies of Spain, while Brazil was part of the Kingdom of Portugal
Rio de Janeiro was the only city outside Europe that became the capital of an european empire.

came back to write something more indepth
Best airport
A lot of airports are the same in the world: You check in, go through immigration, go through security, maybe eat something and get on a flight, but not here; Changi Airport has so much shit you never knew you needed like a swimming pool, a big slide, a shopping mall very close, a fish pond, a free movie theatre and much much more.
Very low crime rate
We have one of the lowest crime rates in the world, being as low as countries like Japan and Poland (using those as examples as they use the same colors as the Singapore flag and Japan is in Asia as well and known for low crime rate.) This is because of how small the country is and as a result it’s hard to get away with big crimes.
High IQ and GDP per capita
I remember at one time we were the highest average IQ in the world, I think it’s Japan now but still, having at any point the highest average IQ in the world is pretty impressive. We also have a very high GDP per capita as we have a very small country, amount of cars are limited to stop traffic jams so cars are more expensive, also jesus have you even seen prices? How would we not be rich given that?
eSports
Given SEA is starting to grow in terms of eSports outside mobile games (a mobile clone of League called Mobile Legends particularly), Paper Rex is a highlight, they won SG/MY VCT 6 times and did decently in Reykjavik this year (Top 4 IIRC, rooting for em to do well in Copenhagen, also f0rsaken on Yoru is gonna be a treat to watch)
Other
I love how we treat toilet water. Instead of just dumping it we make our pee and poo water into actual drinkable water, how clean the country is for the most part and a lot more.
culture! beer, bogans and bunnings. nothing better than spending tons of money on random stuff that you will never use and then top it off with a burnt sausage in some stale white bread. we have good gun laws! guns are bad. democracy! everyone has their say on who runs the country. (rip scomo...) we have the best jobs! (tradies, tradies or nerds) we have a cool history! (besides extreme racism that is) AUSTRALIANS ALL LET USSSSS REJOICE, FOR WE ARE ONE AND FREE!
extra, also most important, WE HAVE THE ONE AND ONLY, TS_ChedZ
