"Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in."
Isaiah 26:2
I'm not sure there is such a nation, at least now, but it's here in God's word, so I hope that there will be. Maybe it's something that the city of Enoch can claim, or a nation can claim in the future at the second coming. After all, the Nephites in 3rd Nephi managed to hold on to a fairly perfect society for a couple of generations. There is hope for us as well. :)
One thing we can work on today, to be sure that we qualify to be part of that future nation, is the truth. Truth is getting harder to discern in our society, with important people, companies, and governments lying, as well as chatbots that have been trained on less than 100% truth. They are also trained to agree with us, so they won't correct our bad information and make us rethink or recheck. We have to do that for ourselves. So let's check, read different perspectives, and study it out in our minds, and let's also cultivate the Spirit which can help us know the truth of all things.
Truth is much more important than our current society values it. Let's remember that God is a God of Truth, and hold to that ideal, and practice being truthful as well as kind, not sacrificing one for the other.
