Countries fixate their national pride on what they have.

If they don't have the dynamism, economy, or youth of other countries, they fixate on what they do have — buildings which are faded memories of the cultures which built them.

There is also a more positive side. Angkor is a symbol of pride for a (demographically) young, growing, and optimistic nation.
