No country has faced or survives if it is going through such amount of difficulties with massive financial constraints and terrorism.

PS: Pakistan is on the top "Happiest people" in the region and at 66th in the world (according to Forbes 2020) beats Bangladesh, India, and many other countries.

Pakistan isn't what you think.... we are the power, deliberately (by design) underestimated by the western media (through paid propaganda). Not only this but for many obvious reasons "Only Islamic Nuclear Power". Every single Islamic country that tried to acquire nuclear weapons was destabilized and attacked from Iraq to Libya. That wasn't an easy journey. Pakistan literally outclassed western Intelligence while developing WMDs force. Out of many, there is another reason why western media by policy maligning Pakistan. Western establishment need someone from whom they blame for their failures and so on....

We shall rise!

You forgot to add :

Pakistan has the world record holder for the highest number of GCSEs and highest number of A*
Pakistan has the world record holder for the highest number of A'levels and highest number of A*

Pakistan has the world record holder for the highest marks in the ACCA exam.

An 11-year-old Pakistani boy has set a new Guinness World record by identifying the most number of countries in one minute. Karachi's Aima'az Ali Abro set the record last month by identifying most countries from their outline in one minute.Nov 5, 2019

The martial arts expert from Karachi, Pakistan, holds over 30 records, almost a third of the way towards his goal. Most of his records are smashing – quite literally.

They include:

  • most walnuts crushed by the hand in one minute (284)
  • most watermelons crushed with the head in 30 seconds (49)
  • most drinks cans crushed with the elbow in one minute (77)
  • most spins of a fire staff in one minute (188) – yes, he can spin as well as smash!
etc

That is a very small list I'm afraid and not all that meaningful sadly
 
That is a very small list I'm afraid and not all that meaningful sadly

As oppose to the meaningful wars of the West? Or as meaningful as the plunder of the West in Africa and Latin America?

The list represents the true grit of a Pakistani nation which has endured decades of War on (american manufactured) Terror, Western Economic Sanctions induced poverty and wars with a neighbor heavily propped up by the West.

So you can go $hit yourself in hollywood fantasy, while the rest of us bask in the reality that we exist, will co-exist and shall overcome all odds.

First off all, Sir G thanks for mentioning.
In point/bullet #3; IMO it was computer virus and not any other virus?
 
As oppose to the meaningful wars of the West? Or as meaningful as the plunder of the West in Africa and Latin America?

The list represents the true grit of a Pakistani nation which has endured decades of War on (american manufactured) Terror, Western Economic Sanctions induced poverty and wars with a neighbor heavily propped up by the West.

So you can go $hit yourself in hollywood fantasy, while the rest of us bask in the reality that we exist, will co-exist and shall overcome all odds.
List includes geographical features or buildings as if that is really not something to boast about. The mega construction projects from a bygone era too. And producing agri good? Yes lets pat ourselves on the back for that.
List is meaningless and superficial and just a feel good exercise for teenagers.
 
Pakistan did not develop the first "computer" virus. The first computer virus was "Creeper" developed in 1971. Alvi brothers from Pakistan developed the "Brain Virus" in 1986, which was the first-ever virus to infect IBM PCs.

Pakistan also does not have the 2nd largest Masjid. If I am correct, no Muslim country builds masjids larger than the two Harmain Sharifain. Pakistan did have the third largest but it has since been taken over. Although, the masjid being built in Bahria Town Karachi is said to retake the distinction.

Being the 5th largest cotton producer is meaningless as Pakistan's production has been taking a steep dip. This year it went down by 34%.

UK's brainiest teen with IQ higher than Einstein has taken 28 A levels​

The Mensa member has an IQ of 161 - higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking’s 160 - and has done four A levels since September. She now aims to pass another 24

Super-brainy Mahnoor Cheema is aiming to set a record by passing at least 28 A levels after getting 34 A* GCSEs this summer.
Mensa member Mahnoor, 16, has an IQ of 161 - higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking’s 160 - and has done four A levels since September. She studied for 24 GCSEs in her own time alongside the 10 she did at school and scored 33 nines and one eight, the equivalent of 33 A*s and one A/A*.

Mahnoor squeezes her studying in using an unconventional sleep routine. She said: “After school, I sleep for three hours as I’m so tired, I wouldn’t be as productive. Then I wake up at 7pm and go to bed again at 2am. The last hour of my day is spent doing piano.” Mahnoor, from Slough, Berks, was born in Britain but she and her family moved to Pakistan in 2010, before moving back to the UK in 2016.

Brutal A-level question that stumps adults as exam system set to be scrapped

Mum Tayyaba Cheema, 42, said she realised her daughter was “different” when she was jut a year old. Tayyaba said: “I got news from Pakistan that my father had just passed away. Mahnoor asked why I was crying, and I explained. She told me, ‘I’m here for you’. It showed how sensitive and intelligent she was, even at that age.”

Tayyaba and husband Usman, 46, a barrister, then saw Mahnoor grow to read all seven Harry Potter books by the age of six, and, by 11, she had learned the entire Oxford English Dictionary “by heart”. Mahnoor started her A levels in September and has completed four, in English language, marine science, environmental management, and thinking skills. She will get the results in February. She plans to study medicine at Oxford University.
She said: “I guess I do find school easier than most people, I just want to explore my full capability. Plus I am genuinely interested in all of my subjects. I’ve always loved to challenge myself.” Mahnoor has two siblings, Laila, 14, who has won national maths competitions and also has an IQ of 161, and Jibran, nine, a grade four piano player.

Their proud mum Tayyaba credits “genetics, hard work, and consistency” for her children’s success. In 2009, Ali Moeen Nawazish, from Pakistan, did 23 A levels in one year.
