Which of these do you think they can represent your county the best ?
Other. I think the idea of a country is really all about it's philosophy and practices, that being said, those who live the ideals and espouse them can literally be anyone. I have said many times that some of the best American citizens weren't born here, they are people who came from either countries with crippling poverty or oppressive governments and truly appreciate what we are about, some risked everything to be here, or did whatever it took.
That's much harder to appraise, to me it doesn't matter what field they are in, as long as they do a service to their country. Scientists obviously improve the human condition, as well as doctors, while entertainers keep us happy, activists change things for better or worse, so really I think they all are of equal importance when relating representation of a country.Yeah, those people are known to you, to the Americans. People like them exists in every region, every country, we call them self-made or self educated people and they proudly represents any country they are present in.
But what I meant is kind of "famous" people who are known to almost everybody not in their area only, worldwide.

Depends really on the person and personality. But if you wanted a concrete answer I'd say the best guess would be an ambassador/diplomat considering the job necessarily requires being able to relate to other cultures tactfully while still representing the ideals of a country and it's positions.Good, but what am talking about is representing the US outside the US, In other meaning : the most liked (Your countries "Poll Option") to the foriegners.
Which also means that he must be likely to you too.
For example Some of my American friends sais when Bush went to Iraq : "We dont like Bush to represent our country there"
