I have another example here: Luxembourg, hy home country.

Half of the inhabitants are immigrants (mostly from portugal, but with an increasing part of eastern europeans and north africans/middle easterns). before the 1950s, Luxembourg was a pretty poor country with net emigration (many to the US) and just a handful of foreigners. Since then we have become a country full of diverse cultures... and become one of the 5 richest countries in the world per capita

Luxembourg is also a country with a population of about half a million, a lot easier to manage the people than massive countries like the US. It'd be great if the rest of the states would individually take notes from Minnesota and countries of similar population to themselves and find a way to make compromises and and reach a moderate middle ground. 

Yeah, 500,000 VS 5.5 million is a big difference. Regardless, it is great to know Luxembourg is doing well. The GDP is over $100,000! I knew it was a successful country, but I never expected it to be this great.
