Which countries strongly support my values? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi, I'm looking for a country whose people or government mainly support my values. I'm looking for a country that:

supports wildlife protection
supports eco-friendly things and solar/wind energy
supports freedom of expression and does NOT criminalize queer people, be it trans, gay, bi, pan, intersex, asexual, etc.
peaceful, low crime
community-oriented
equal and just
very friendly towards animals, filled with animal sanctuaries and no-kill shelters
free education and/or healthcare (preferably education and healthcare are free/government-funded)
high taxes are therefore fine to me
compassion-oriented
affordable food with low unhoused rates and high employment rates

None tick all of those boxes that I'm aware of. Socialist countries like China, Cuba, and Vietnam are all imperfect even if they have a great track record of improvement, and the capitalist countries with the highest quality of life (ie, the Nordics) are all declining and depend on imperialism.

Someone should do a poll in core countries regarding imperialism. It’s hard to know how much of it is obliviousness vs suppression vs ambivalence vs full-throated support.

what would you like to learn from that poll?

How many people actually care about other people.

Just from this list, Cuba is probably closest though, right?

Closer, yes, though sanctions have been particularly brutal in the context of recent weather disasters there. China lacks in areas like LGBTQIA+ rights, but is generally doing much better otherwise, same as Vietnam.
