Ideal country size/arrangement?
If you could create your own country, what would it be like? How large(land mass/size wise) would it be? What kind of terrain? What would be the ideal population number? Would it be mainly industrial, agricultural, etc? How would it be organized? (taxes, government organizations/services, branches of government, etc). How would you deal with conflicts(internal and external)?
And why do you think that it would work?
p.s. please no insulting current political groups(either side). just answer with your opinions/ideas, no need to bash others. Thanks!

The problem with any government is the nature of man. The ins try to help out their people and maybe do some good while trying to keep hold of POWER which the outs want, so they can do for their supporters and maybe do some good?

For many power corrupts, they wrap themselves in the flag and spout words of nobility or patriotism while lining their pockets with future deals. In America we have had many people who looked as saviors but had feet of clay and it did not matter which party! Two things corrupts and they are the love of money or power.
Too small to be a super power, but big enough not to be pushed around. I think I would locate in Spain + Portugal for the geography and climate but English speaking and the US constitution. I like the diversity of cultures we have here so would also want US people but without the Christian Conservatives.
It would be in the middle east, largely pastoral with communities centered around small towns. Its land size would cover about the size of present day Iraq. Its population would continue to grow, although the Americans try to cap it. Government would be gloriously run by the elders of the villages.
The US Constitution with the addition of all freedoms being a right even in public. Also Id add fiscal amendments that requires a balanced budget with emergency exception, tax rate ceiling, government spending ceiling based on % of GDP. A strict following of the 10th amendment is a must.
large land rich with resources oil, metals, water etc. about 400 million those with a superior protection stress about a million.2 million troops, yet continues to be out of conflict except compelled to be in touch and recognize different united states of america's affairs. Have a superior balanced economic equipment, attempt to tax as low as conceivable. Make faculties better efficent by using guidance existence skills no longer except information. for authorities similar structure to the US authorities yet no longer as centralized.
