    I'd say

    - sufficient infrastructure (roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, sewerage system, places of worship, etc.)

    - well-trained and up-to-date police force, army, medical professionals, teachers, journalists, artists

    - a secular government that allows discussion (multi-party)

    - a free press

    - a free economy

    - environmentally-friendly industry and agriculture
