Revised picks based on the nations already given out:
1. West Germany (Best Germany) - between beer, bratwurst and brezel, there is also much wörk to be done in the period after the war and the economic wonder that germany achieved. Hitler's Volkswagen initiative would become the largest car company, and germany ultimately rise to lose two world wars and become a nonetheless difining factor in global and european politics. Can this economic, social and cultural miracle be recreated?
2. Albania:
As a muslim country in Europe, Albania had to face a lot of "shit" - as some historian like to say. After prolonged Ottoman occupation, following only a brief period of independence, Albania was occupied by Greece, Austria-Hungary, Serbia and also Italy. After ww2 it has finally become somewhat independent, albeit a soviet Puppet. Albania now is deeply entrenched in Stalinist doctrine, but Stalin is now? dead. Will albania once again be occupied by yugoslavia, the USSR or even the west? or will this tiny muslim country whether its destiny.
3. Ngo-Dinh Diem's vision for Vietnam:
Literally the counter-part of the Viet-Minh, ngo-dinh diem was deeply anti-communist and became the US puppet dictator in Southern Vietnam. Abolishing the deeply disliked monarchy, and seeking alignment with the USA and France, his regime became opressive and disliked, leading to the self-burning of monks and the ultimate internal demise, despite all the foreign aid of Southern-Vietnam to viet-cong and North-Vietnam. Perhaps with slight changes in policy, and some thoughtful diplomacy, ngo-dinh diem's dream can not only survive, but be the victor in the battle between communist and capitalist influence in Southeast asia.
