Australia
Australians consider they have a "lucky country". The country is clean, full of resources, large, shares no borders, has a generally good climate, the population is well educated and the society is very egalitarian and generally ethnically well mixed. It has a single language (with little accents between parts of the country) and people generally have a quite comfortable standard of living. Strangers are greeted in an outgoing and friendly manner and people will generally try to help others. Modest behaviour is the norm and ostentatious, loud, aggressive and arrogant behaviour is generally considered inappropriate and rude.

In recent decades, after a long period of European an British immigration, Asian and African immigration has increased and Australian society has adopted the ethos of multi-culturalism (the country has one of the highest percentages of foreign born residents in the world). Racial problems are relatively minor within the society and there are federal laws to deal with racial as well as sexual discrimination.
