All countries are interesting of course, but I'm singling out Ireland for a reason. Recently watching a talk between E. Michael Jones and Gemma O'Doherty (you can watch it here, if you're interested: link)

Something that struck me was that she said LGBQT and abortion was almost non-existent until recently. So I did a little surface research (I consider wikipedia's believe it or not surface research) and indeed it was interesting:

Ireland isn't even mentioned in abortion statistics by country: List of countries by abortion statistics - Wikipedia

Same sex couple recognition in Ireland from 2011, and same sex marriage from 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_by_country_or_territory

One of the key differences (according to Ms O'Doherty) has been the historic prevalence of Catholicism and a very tiny % of Jews. Imagine that.
