Plan For A Greater Country?

It is difficult to give a plan for a greater country without knowing the state of the country to begin with. For example, the answer to this question would be very different if you mean Africa and it is answered as the UK.

• It is not easy

Planning for a greater country is never easy, regardless of which country you mean. Governments around the world struggle everyday with trying to find ways to make their country run more smoothly, be fairer and not run up billions in debt in doing so. Governments are only made up of 'normal' people; they are not the great powers that they are made out to be and they do a very difficult job.

• What would make a great country?

Everyone has their own idea of what makes a 'great country'. To many communities around the world, the USA and UK will be the greatest countries and something that they may well dream of being. However, from the inside many residents of these countries do not feel that this is the case. A great country is completely relative to the individual.

For example, in the United Kingdom there are millions of people who happily work the job seekers system throughout their life. They do not intend to ever get a job and are happy to sit back, do nothing and get a house for free, bills paid for and a sum of money per week to live on. To these people a great country would involve providing them with more money each week and to stop sending them on 'get back into work courses'.

However, a majority of the residents of the United Kingdom would agree that to achieve a greater country, these people should no longer receive such easy benefits. A popular view is that weekly funds should be given in the form of food vouchers and accommodation should have minimal air of luxury.

Come to your own conclusion about your own country; it is easy to see what the negatives are but fighting them is very difficult.
