#1 IMO, you had a good country - but you wanted a perfect one!

#2 It we were perfect we'd be angels. We're not angels and thus can never be perfect.

"Perfect is the enemy of the good" is usually interpreted in the workplace to mean "better done than perfect." When you try to perfect something instead of making it good enough, you may not make it at all. Often good is good enough and perfectly acceptable, as long as it's done well.

#3 #2 I think there are two, universal, principles involved here.

1) Perfect is the enemy of the good

2) Заста́вь дурака́ Бо́гу моли́ться, он лоб расшибе́т (Make a fool pray to God, and he will split his forehead open - Greek orthodox pray by kneeling and bowing to the floor)
