wealth of a country: Gross self esteem indicator

The wealth of a prosperous society or country is measured by gross esteem indicator (self worth).

The so called first world countries have comparatively lower rate of eligible voters actually voting.
Are they lazy ?

vs

the poor countries, such as Nepal, where every one seems to have ample “time” to vote and believe in spending a day waiting in line to “vote”.
Are they smart ?

My take is:

In USA: most people try to make change happen (with or without voting). So most don’t feel voting is that special.

In Nepal:most people have too low self esteem to make change happen (so they vote — to increase their self esteem)

Voting raises their self confidence in themself, and maybe make change)

In essence a story between high self esteem and low self esteem

Gross self esteem indicator, anyone ?
