Expanding World Showcase Pavillions

If you could expand any of the current World Showcase pavillions at Epcot, which would you choose? What would you add to it or change?

I've recently become obsessed with Norway so I would choose that one. I would like to see an authentic table service restaurant that is not a character meal. Add a show or movie showcasing their culture ( I miss the movie they played after Malestrom). Even just make the area bigger and have more buildings with shops.
Oh, and apparently there is a lot of hype around the frozen pizza brand Grandiosa ( there's even a music video lol) so I would like for them to have a stand selling it so I can try it We asked a cast memeber last trip about it but she said it's over hyped. We'll ask someone else next time to see what they think lol.

I wouldn't mind any and all pavilions expanded. What I would really love to see is entire new pavilions with new countries added, Greece, Israel, Spain or a Caribbean country. The last time a new country was added I was still in college.

But seriously folks, I would like to see the following countries added to WS for their cuisine, and vibrant culture and history

Comoros- archipelago island nation in the Indian Ocean located at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel

Transnistria - located mostly on a strip of land between the River Dniester and the eastern Moldovan border with Ukraine

Kiribati- The nation comprises 33 atolls and reef islands and one raised coral island, Banaba.

Timor-Leste - in Maritime Southeast Asia. It comprises the eastern half of the island of Timor, the nearby islands of Atauro and Jaco, and Oecusse

Kyrgyzstan - Central Asia. Landlocked and mountainous, Kyrgyzstan is bordered by Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west

Add Australia. There use to be a big temporary Australia set up for the food and wine. It was great. Cast members fantastic.

Australia and Greece would be my first two picks. Maybe New Zealand because of its popular locale for filming.

I would really like to see Australia / NZ added to Animal Kingdom actually.

It would make me super happy to see Greece at Epcot, however the Greece booth at F&W always disappoints me so they would need to step it up with the Greek Eats. Plus, Disney already has Hercules for an intellectual property to tie in there. We won't get me started on the fact that Disney's version has nothing to do with the actual Heracles myth, I just take it as vaguely Greek-ish entertainment and count it as a win.
