How should I say?

I would like to say: The world community figures (with hope) on the prosperity of Your country....
In this case can I say that:
The world community looks forward to the prosperity of Your country as an example for other States.
How do you think?

  • The conventions for when 'states' is capitalized are not the simplest, and it might be considered wrong whether it's capitalized or not.

Thank you! But as for the verbs: so, I can use the verb to look forward instead of to figure on (with hope), can't I? What sounds better on youtr opinion?

Anonymousto figure on (with hope)
I'm sorry to say that this expression is nearly unintelligible in modern English.
I recommend that you forget you ever heard it, read it, or wrote it.

The world community looks forward to the prosperity of your country Sounds like it is not prosperous at present, but will be.
