This is one of the most evocations of England becuase he compares England as another Garden of Eden and a demi-paradise. Shakespeare not only wrote this in glory of England but to put down other nations compared to England. He expresses this when he wrote, "Against the envy of less happier lands."
Other motives that Shakespeare might have had in writing this tribute to England was to kiss the a$$ of the Elizabethans because they were already addicted to the theater. What makes the Richard II the most famous evocations of England ever written is that Shakespeare compares England as another Garden of Eden and a demi-paradise.
My bad Mr.Lisec but that was the only way I could have put it in my own words.
Shakspeare wanted to build his reputation even higher than it was with England that is the reason for him writing The Tribute to England. England was protrayed as a demi-paradise by Shakspeare that was the excerpt from Richard the second.
