Safe and clean streets, orderly, everything works in clockwork precision, high employment rate, high life expectancy, too many to list. Forced into independence, the tiny nation not only survived against the odds, it thrived to become one of the richest nation in the world in a short 50 years!

People do not end up on the streets and if they really do, people can call the relevant authorities and they will be placed in welfare homes or given some form of assistance.

This is the most successful nation before Indonesia & Thailand! Singapore, Indonesia & Thailand are ASEAN's Big 3 successful nations!

Taiwan is a pretty successful country because they have the best people in Asia. Though it is small, the people there are always friendly, not at all agressive and arrogant.

Taiwan is one of the most successful country. Taiwan must sets in 1.

Home of one of the most hospitable people in the world. People is its asset. You can feel at home in the Philippines. It's so amazing the experience in the Philippines the charm of Asian culture and the grandeur of the western culture. A culture where east married west.

Philippines is currently experiencing change in economy and government. Their success is referred to as an "Asian Miracle" because of years in corrupt government. Their economy is fast and rising just like Indonesia. A tiger economy in the making.

Feels like Philippinos are brainwashed by how great your country is... You just assume that you are great but not to any other Asians at all, not to mention others

I agree. I was allowed to skip the Freshman Year of my top-20-worldwide Canadian university because of the advanced studies I completed in my Lebanese high school.

Lebanon has probably also been the only true democratic country in the Middle East for the past several decades. You are allowed to speak anything you want about the President in public (this would get you imprisoned in most Arab countries), and there are many T.V. shows that mock politicians.

The government does have some problem maintaining some of its infrastructure because of the severe costs of destruction caused by the Israeli airstrikes, but in the end the people are happy, nice, truly open-minded, and party freely!

My opinion is that Lebanon is a great country, the streets are more alive (as in you meet a lot of people on the streets) I love places such as Beirut, and Byblos, and it has great food. The education is the best, because when I was in grade 2 and I moved to another country and went to an American system school I had to skip a year because I already studied everything when I was in Lebanon.

Lebanon is best. Lebanon have great food, lifestyle and much more. Lebanon deserve to be number-1 on top ten list. It's had a great history. Even shakira was also from Lebanon. Please vote for Lebanon. IT'S A GREAT COUNTRY.
