Nation Building: Do You Believe?

I have always been fascinated by the transformation of countries from awful to awesome status. Fascinating stories of how one of the city-states of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai literally transformed from being a desert, an arid and parched mass of land to being one of the many wonders of the world.
Stories of how Singapore grew from total dependency from its neighbouring countries to being one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Or how America moved from being a colony of Britain to being the most powerful nation on the face of the earth and her president, the leader of the free world.
