There's a United Nations checklist (original source unknown) that does a good job in summarizing the priorities of a nation - the 5 E's:
employment
education
energy
environment
equality
How you sort these items could well be a function of where you are in providing these elements to your people. In a highly charged political climate, an argument might even be made on where a country truly is on these elements.
Let's not get into that argument. Let's not get into any argument. Let's just ponder this question: if there's a country out there that is focused on providing all of these to its people, and is willing to pay the price and do whatever it takes to take sizeable steps in the right directions ... if such a country exists, is there any way it could be left behind?
A rhetorical question it might be, but even they elicit a debate, right?
