After visiting Sweden, I always felt it might just be an even better place to live than Norway, for me

Most like Morocco.
Least like Kazakhstan.
I was thinking of what may not be taught or encouraged elsewhere in a community, so that the parents should take the lead in those areas. I also do not think certain things are really "taught", such as imagination. From working with kids, I see the naturally unimaginative get distressed if you push that on them, much as the more imaginative ones feel confined with too much structure. I think adapting for needs of individual children is best.
My rankings:
FAITH
SELF EXPRESSION
RESPONSIBILITY
TOLERANCE
INDEPENDENCE
UNSELFISH
IMAGINATION
HARD WORK
DETERMINATION
OBEDIENCE
THRIFT

I knew I'd get Sweden. Maybe I should visit there sometime.
My least similar was Iraq.

Mostly because my parents had the exact opposite values while raising me, and look at how I turned out
Honestly, I put them in that order because I believe my biggest responsibility when I have children will be to assure that they are 1) emotionally healthy and 2) able to survive and live well. Children aren't a social justice project; they're the people who should be most important to us. And I absolutely don't want my children to grow up being obedient or always putting their needs last.

If that in itself horrifies you, then you are much less tolerant than you like to imagine.

I don't remember claiming to be tolerant.

Good. By the way, my original post quote was a disguised compliment. I tend to put political views aside when discussing parenting, and in that sense, I think we have a lot in common.

Bear in mind, I base this EXCLUSIVELY on parenting cats, not kids. As I'll never raise the latter, I have no values to apply to human offspring.

Retook it after some reflection.
EDIT:
... And, I took it again. But Germany's still first and Yemen's still last. The other countries changed, however. Along with the hierarchy of what I value.

I took it again and got Germany. Iraq was last both times, I believe. Basically I sorted mine into tiers: sense of self, survival, caring for others, and the final tier which I affectionately named "authoritarian bullshit."
