If we ask 100 random ppl to describe their ideal society, which real/fictional countries would the answers resemble the most?

This is… A bit of a dumb question, but I am really curious

100 random people because I think due to personal beliefs/political orientation the answer would differ, maybe someone would really like the Nordic countries, some would like China/Japan for good infrastructure, some would like the US due to extreme wealth…

Also I don’t mean what their favorite country is, but whether what their favorite country “should be” given their beliefs

The Culture.

AFAIK, even rightwingers often hold many beliefs that are more traditionally leftwing, especially if they’re poor/working class. They’re just easily duped into blaming immigrants, LGBT etc. instead of the white billionaires who are actually responsible, and sometimes they even blame billionaires and still vote rightwing - rightwing propaganda is often very misleading about their actual economic policies.

Therefore, the ideal country (if we’re asking about policy items and not ‘like country x, y etc.’) might very well resemble one of the Nordic countries the most.

It seems to go both ways too, although from the other direction it doesn’t look so “bad”.

It seems like it’s the marketing methods and purposeful manipulation that ruins the culture. It takes wholesome humanity and takes it’s worth in exchange for money until the culture is just cog in a business model.

Depressingly, that would be a relative improvement.

I am certain that it would likely be a mix of all of them. No country is this workd is perfect. One place might good healthcare and terrible infrastructure, or amazing tourist attractions and a broken economy, or hella fast trains and very expensive housing.
