My county government office is a well oiled machine. Paying for taxes like car tags and property is a no-brainer, in person or online. Last time I got a new driver's license I was in and out, 10 minutes flat, including the walk to and from my truck. Prices for all of the above are plenty fair.
Naval aviation.
NW FL?
Abandoning public services and privatizing them :(
Corruption
Ha! You must be from... Shit, so many options.
Welfare for giant corporations
Pulling shit out of the ground and inflating a housing bubble.
Australia is super good at dryland cropping, growing wheat where there's fuck all water.
Also, digging up red soil and flogging it to China at a rate that you can almost feel the earth's axis shifting.
Oppress mosquitos
Many things. For example, every single president during my lifetime has been almost universally liked by everyone in the country - kind of like a lifetime of Obamas.
A more recent example of something they do well is when I started my business. I received nearly 10 hours of one-on-one personal guidance on how to do it, completely free. They’re also paying me around 600 euros a month for a year to help me get started.
Thanks Obama.
What country is this? Uruguay?
Finland
Fucking the working class.
Destroying public services.
Protect rich people at all costs
They handled the pandemic well with regards to small businesses
50% of your normal monthly income, free, no questions asked. That was great lol, sat on my arse for six months
Also, 1% of my taxes get put into a training fund that I can spend on any kind of training I want. Doesn't have to be relevant to my business at all
Incarcerate citizens.
Parks and interstate freeways
Outsource.
Steal, corrupt, kill, erase, and destroy. Thats about all the country im ashamed to be a citizen of does
Taxes. They have an incredible talent to raise new taxes.
And, more seriously, like already mentioned in another comment: destroying public services. which is a real sad thing to see happening, if you ask me.
Bomb oppressed peoples.
To find new ways to obstruct the lives of the everyday citizens, while letting both local and international monetary elites to do what they want.
Syrup. Affable. Eh?
The country: promise the opportunity of a better life
The govt: Be corrupt

Many things, but not all of them good. Still, some are good.
