Respondents' pride in food quality, high technology, the education system, scientific achievements, the economy and business life, domestic and foreign policy, the country's infrastructure and healthcare were assessed. Asked whether it is better to present Lithuanian guests from abroad traditional culture or through professional art, it was further asked what is recommended to foreigners coming to Lithuania for the first time in the areas of culture and traditions, art and tourist areas and objects. It was clarified whether Lithuania is a green and ecological country in the opinion of the respondents, and it was asked to indicate the reasons to protect Lithuania as an ecological country. During the survey the opinion was asked which of the world regions belongs to Lithuania and with which region Lithuania would be associated abroad. It was asked whether Lithuania performs better or worse than Latvia, Estonia and Poland. Next, the respondents evaluated the groups of statements about Lithuania. It was clarified whether they were aware of the brand skirt of the Lithuanian tourism sector for the foreign audience "Real is beautiful" and the brand skirt for the domestic audience "And here you were?". When asked to imagine Lithuania becoming an animal, they were asked what kind of animal it would be.
