What is the best feature of your nation?
Lithuanians are supposed to be good patient workers. So, their the best feature is industry.
Polish loves their mother land and they are very patriotic. German people created their high living standarts becouse of ordnung. French people are known becouse of great care about culture. British - law and justice. What about the others?

I don't want to brag or something, but I consider my nation to be hardworking and friendly.
Nationalism is pretty strong in my country too.

The traditions of the Irish people are the oldest of any race in Europe north and west of the Alps, and they themselves are the longest settled on their own soil - Edmund Curtis (A History of Ireland: From Earliest Times to 1922) The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth. For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish. - Edmund Spenser (writer, and British Government Official in Ireland, AD 1596). The renaissance began in Ireland seven hundred years before it was known in Italy. And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation. - Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation. - Heinrich Zimmer, Professor of Celtic and Sanskrit, Member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences

Re: What is the best feature of your nation?
Greeks? Philosophic and artistic spirit, my guess. Friendliness and hospitality could be a trait too.

Re: What is the best feature of your nation?
The variety. Italy is one of the nations in Europe (perhaps the first) with the highest level of internal variety..........
From the continental hardworking native populations living around the Alps to the creative and friendly populations of the mediterranean area. some sort of strange contact between central and southern europe...........anyway, with its history and its artistic potential, surely the first cradle of western-european form of civilization.

Re: What is the best feature of your nation?
Russians... Oh, I don't believe in that "generous nature" stuff.
 In my opinion, the best features are priveleges of the best people of a nation (I don't mean famous people, I'm just trying to limit the topic somehow). Thus, attractiveness and open-mindedness. These are not exclusive, of course.
