That's what I'm looking for.
It's appropriate to call yourself prosperous, but never most prosperous.
There's always someone somewhere better than you.

The interesting thing is, it's hard to measure what prosperous actually is?
Does it mean that everyone has strong families, with good careers?
Does it mean that people can freely choose, freely take, freely give, freely speak, freely practice (religion and so forth)?
I'm not talking about the dictionary meaning necesarily (personal interpretation here), so if someone throws that at me, watch out. haha. just kidding.

Just as does every country. I remember a video I watched someone talking about problems and he was saying "They're not Islamic problems, or Jewish problems, or Womens problems, or Financial problems, or Racial problems, theyre human problems.
