Poland
Pros:
tons of culture and history
really, tons, can't swing a dead cat without hitting a museum or a monument or something
relatively inexpensive
Lots of great, open minded people.
Surprisingly tasty food
People are very down to earth
Polish sense of humor is great, as its modern version developed under the communist rule - there was a ministry of censorship back then and artists of all kinds had to really sweat to get through.. which they did. Unfortunately it's too dependent on context to be universal.
Gorgeous women.
Cons:
The catholic church owns half of the country and seems to run it too
there are some "catotaliban" as we call them spoiling everybodys fun and making the country look like it's should be put in the dictionary under the definition of conservative. luckily they are a vocal, but a minority.
the state is .. well, corrupt. And populist.. generally the whole country is still in transition from being a satelite of the soviet union - for example the law system is based on a 50 year old communist law system and while it's been reformed, upgraded etc, it it still in some cases very complicated and unintuitive, stupid even. Like when it says that offending someone's "religious feelings" is something you can go to jail for, but doesn't define what these feelings are exactly...
generally it's getting better, but not fast enough
Another con is, people perceive Poles as thieving simpleton racists, we're the butt of many jokes and stereotypes.. which is somewhat true but isn't as funny as it might seem when it comes around for the 10,000th time. But I guess it's like this for many countries..
And historically, the biggest con is that geographically, we're located smack in the middle between "west" and "east", making Poland one of the most frequent battlegrounds of Europe... And you can see the effects clearly, though I don't wan to turn this into a history lecture
