Fi Glover, Martha Lane Fox and Henrietta Moore are on the hunt for solutions to the world\\u2019s problems. Their aim is to create the perfect country made up of the best global policies that actually work. In this episode, the panel hear the voices, opinions and criticisms of the World Service audience. Together, they debate how the perfect country is shaping up.

The policies include: Rwanda reducing the gender pay gap, Cuba\\u2019s disaster preparedness, Germany\\u2019s refugee integration, Norway\\u2019s prison system, Nepal\\u2019s maternal healthcare, and Canada\\u2019s sustainable fishing programme. Listeners who have first-hand experience of these policies give their own personal reflection of living through them \\u2013 and direct feedback to the verdicts from the My Perfect Country panel. Members of the audience from vastly different nations give their views of whether the policies could work where they are. And, in cases where they might not \\u2013 listeners offer alternative suggestions for the countries they would look to instead.
