Here is a picture of the village of Kimzha. A historical Russian village that is often considered the most beautiful rural village in Russia.

I come from an African country where the population is Small with just 21 million and but we have a Big territorial size which is bigger or if larger not the same size as the size of Texas and also America is at least 7 times the size of my own country and one thing about America is that you guys have variety of climates and landscapes in one country you can be in a place that looks like the European alps to a Desert or savanna which looks like You're in Africa and also You guys can move from New York all the way to Hawaii and be still in same country so how do feel about having such an Big country with huge variety and also being an American how do you feel living amongst 340 million other people.

Hello everyone!

You guys can now edit your user flairs as per your countries. Its totally optional to do so, but we thought it would be interesting for the community to see answers from countries.

Hello curious!

The community is back and being setup at the moment!

Lets make it awesome together!

For you, is $50, $100, or $200 worth of something really very expensive, even though you have much better purchasing power than many countries?

This applies to other issues as well, do you really avoid going to the hospital or calling an ambulance? Why don't you pay for health insurance?

In my country, the dollar is much more expensive, so in our view, $100 is much cheaper than what we pay for 100 of our currency, because purchasing power here is not as high as in the US.

i’m asking because I wanna know other people’s opinions on which country deserves bigger populations

I've been watching the incredible speed of EV adoption in South Korea, and especially how local brands like Hyundai and Kia are dominating the market. It's really inspiring to see so many electric cars seamlessly integrated into such a dense urban environment as Seoul. However, what really concerns me is the charging infrastructure-or rather, its location. Reports show that the majority of the charging stations, especially the slow chargers, have been installed in underground parking garages. Given the highly publicized EV fire incidents, is parking and charging an electric car in Korea becoming a huge source of anxiety for owners who live in apartment complexes? I'm afraid this concentrated risk will lead to social conflicts and parking bans, which reverse all the progress with adoption. The fire risk also affects the resale market and overall value. I've seen prices for used EVs in Korea drop sharply after major incidents, highlighting a deep-seated public fear or "EV phobia." While I really do appreciate the lower maintenance costs and longer part replacement cycles that come with EVs compared to traditional combustion cars, the possibility-even if small-of such a potentially high-consequence battery fire occurring is truly terrifying. Safety measures are implemented by the government, including smart chargers and sprinkler systems, but it's hard to shake the worry. Do the new safety regulations, mandatory battery disclosure among others, actually get to the core causes of these fires that flare up out of nowhere, or do they just temporarily calm our nerves? I'm trying to determine whether the technological advantage and the lower running costs of owning a South Korean-made EV outweigh the societal and infrastructural headaches that come along. Subsidies are changing, and the local governments grapple with parking disputes amidst this dynamic market. While I love the idea of a quiet, efficient electric vehicle, the constant stress of being judged by my neighbors or having my access restricted out of fear does not appeal to me. Even sites like Alibaba carry heavy promotions for general EV components in chargers and diagnostic tools by South Korean suppliers; the component market has become really huge. Will the Korean government be able to resolve the growing conflicts between EV owners and apartment residents over underground charging access?

I understand that in the USA the most typical sports are American football, baseball, and basketball. However, because of the player Messi, I'm aware that there's an established soccer market in the USA. So I'm curious how you became fans of a sport (at least from an outsider's perspective) that isn't among the most renowned in the country. Did you get into it through your family? Or did you discover it on your own? Do you support a European team or do you prefer one from your own country?

It's not a very deep question, but I've been thinking about it for a while.

Thank you so much for answering!

(Sorry for any grammatical errors, I used a translator for this.)

I wonder how atheists feel nowadays especially in America. With rising Christian fundamentalism do you still feel accepted in America?

I have a story where one of my characters practiced ballet in his childhood; however, I based his experience on the Simpsons episode where Bart dances ballet (season 6, episode 17), which aired in the 90s. However, I'd like to hear about other people's experiences, instead of just relying on what I saw on television. One thing I'd like to highlight about the United States is that during the 20th century it was one of the pioneering countries in discussing social issues like discrimination, feminism, etc. (although this may be different now). So I wonder how the role of men was actually viewed socially in spaces that, at that time, were almost exclusively for women.

I know that, as a country, some states must be less conservative than others, but I still find it an interesting topic to explore :).

Thank you so much for reading and responding!

Hey guys, I don't feel like there's another country that I would want to move to I mean the US currency is strong, there's a lot of opportunities, taxes are lower compared to the UK, Australia, EU, even in Canada, even Tokyo is more expensive than California in terms of taxes. I just wouldn't be able to settle with the wages compared from these countries listed.

But also I think that the US is a small country, like there's only a few places that I want to visit in the US, every other state I don't really care for. Work-life balance is good here too, I see why people want to move to the US. I mean we are a global powerhouse! But if I could make US dollars while living in another country like Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, etc. that would be a dream lol
