What nation provides an example to the world?

The US and many americans see themselves as the model of democracy.

I am not taking a shot at the US as they have many positive traits, however I don't see the US as a beacon of best practice. I think big business influences US politics to the detriment of its citizens and recent events challenge the true autonomy of the courts. US healthcare sucks.

Australia is pretty good, but we are too much of a nanny state. We also have major human rights issues.

The little I know of Switzerland, I like their systems and example to the world.

These Countries Have the Most Income Equality Happiness rankings follow closely, as does health care rankings, longevity, general education, trust of government, peaceful society, functioning justice system, etc.

Everything else, i.e. "freedom", guns, free speech, military power, foreign influence, is just b.s.

US is incapable of solvin’ even the sollest smallest problem. The simplest of problems, we can no longer solve. We can’t do anything. We are an institute in a powerful death penalty. 

They want you to say what they want you, what they want to have you say. And we’re not gonna let that happen. You’re going to say as you want and you’re going to believe, and you’re going to believe in God. You’re gonna believe in God because God is here and God is watching.

But, If you think about it, you have men, you have women, and you have religion. If you look at it, you have more than the men, you have more than the women. You have such power.

All of those countries are overwhelmingly white. Isn’t that a bit racist?

The OP didn't specify what kind of example.  The USA right now is a great example of how a populist demagogue can polarize a country and how possession of wealth can corrupt the rule of law.

The US is an incredible example of how spending can lead to outstanding results!

For instance the US spends about $840,000,000,000 annually on their military and their leaders are so incredibly advanced, they proudly post pictures of their acquired expertise!
