all of the things you listed make up or result from national character. besides some short interludes, for example, Japan has had the same party in power since 1955. it's a weird thing to deny the existence of. different nations act differently. it's not heresy to make generalisations, particularly in the age of nationalism when many/most people actively try to set and follow their country's norms
Isn’t that a thing called culture? National character could be another word for it, except “nation” is a modern concept and is highly volatile. Check out what’s happened to the borders of Germany over the last few hundred years.
okay then, call it culture, call it national character, it changes nothing. culture affects--dictates, even--the politics and economics of a country massively
