Yes. I do.
My country is underdeveloped, its politicians are stupid and corrupt, there was a huge, violent war going on until just two years ago, and the economy keeps getting worse by the day.
So, why do I love it again?
Because it has a lovely culture which is (as of yet) uncorrupted by things like underage sex, drugs, alcoholism, gang wars and the like. Because it's one of the top 10 countries in the world in terms of male-female equality (I'm a woman so this matters a lot to me). Because the people here are surprisingly nice. And especially because of it's one of the only two countries in the world which follow the original form of Buddhism (which bears little to no resemblance to the more popular Japanese / Chinese version).
All in all, it has its bad points - and it definitely isn't a place for people who fancy physical comfort over mental / spiritual well-being - but I believe this is the only country I can be truly happy living in.
Oh, I almost forgot; I was talking about Sri Lanka 🙂 I wonder if anyone even knows where it is? For those of you who don't; it's a tiny island just below India.

Quite enjoy living here in Canada. I frequently go travel to Hong Kong to visit relatives, but I identify and am more comfortable here than anywhere else in the world.
NO
My country is a mess.
High Possibility of Earthquake, Tsunami, Volcano Eruption, Flood, Storm, Landslide/Avalanche..
Not just possibility, it happened in every corner of my country. Every natural disaster and every man-made disaster, like overload train capacity : crash, slipped plane :crash, etc.
The rich get richer, the average get poor, the poor dead.
A good place where you can buy anything with money, even justice.
A corruptor can roam freely even he was sentenced to jail, he still watched a tennis match with his wife in Bali and a chicken-thief (steal A chicken) was death because mass rampage, he couldn't feed his hungry children or at least had a right to be properly judge by law.
High number of people lived below poverty line..
High living cost
Poor education
So many Hypocrites here..
.
And everyday it's raining 🙁

I hate my country (UK), it has evolved into something ugly that I can no longer identify with (I speak as a non-white Brit).
Whatever it was that once made it great has since ceased to exist and is now nothing more than an English speaking “culturally-enriched” province of the EU with the politically correct (bat-shit insane) inmates ruling the island asylum.
It is really speaks volumes that most people here engage in various forms of escapism (binge drinking / eating / drugs / TV soaps / football hooliganism / worshipping raoul moat / etc). Longing for the good old days when the UK used to be something or dream about moving abroad and starting a new life in another country, just to avoid the fact that their own ruling class has sold them out.
There is so little to be proud of here in the UK these days that people here are practically clutching at straws, clinging on to the fact that we once won the world cup in 1966 (It has been 45 years already, give it a rest!), once had Independent British Car Makers before the unions destroyed them. Helped create icons such as Concorde and once in a full moon had the fortitude to stand up to evil ideological systems though those days have long since passed.
Now, we are pretty much America’s future a few years down the line, except we are property of the EU rather than the Chinese.
Hell, even our armed forces are not what they used to be and we now find ourselves faced with the very real (& embarrassing) prospect of being nothing more an aircraft carrier for the French to land their fighter planes!
Our government makes common cause with todays evil systems and one way or another seeks to force people to go from cars to bicycles, all the while places like India and China go from bicycles to cars.
And to top it all off, the only people who seek regain some of the UK’s former glory are those who I would never associate with in a million years.
If I had the means, I would gladly move abroad to a country that does not seek to uproot the very foundations that made it great to begin with.
Well, the weather's looking bad. It's bad here, bad there - bad everywhere. Nasty alien creatures raining down from the skies, devouring all life on this planet. And what does that mean to you, you ask? It means you're mine. You're all mine! - Prince (aka Death) from Lexx

Juuza, thanks for your post.
That was very honest.
I find beauty in honesty, even when it's depressing.
