Nebuchadnezzar II had old temples and religious monuments rebuilt, erected massive walls for protection, improved canals and bridges, opened a port on the Persian Gulf, and is credited for the construction of the Hanging Gardens, which restored Babylon to its former glory.
Accounts indicate that the garden was built by King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled the city for 43 years starting in 605 BC (There is an alternative story that the gardens were built by the Assyrian Queen Semiramis during her five year reign starting in 810 BC). This was the height of the city's power and influence and King Nebuchadnezzar is known to have constructed an astonishing array of temples, streets, palaces and walls. According to accounts, the gardens were built to cheer up Nebuchadnezzar's homesick wife, Amyitis. Amyitis, daughter of the king of the Medes, was married to Nebuchadnezzar to create an alliance between the two nations. The land she came from, though, was green, rugged and mountainous, and she found the flat, sun-baked terrain of Mesopotamia depressing. The king decided to relieve her depression by recreating her homeland through the building of an artificial mountain with rooftop gardens.
Yes He did. He also defeated the Assyrians
His Persian wife Amytis didn't like the dessert so the King built the hanging gardens to make a place so his wife would have surroundings similar to her home land.

He built the Hanging gardens for his wife putting aside the glory it brought.
Nebuchadnezzar II.Nebuchanezzar II, rule of Babylonia from 605 to 562 B.C., brought the capital city of Babylon back to its former grandeur- and then some! Destroyed by the Assyrians around 689 B.C., the city was rebuilt by Nebuchadnezzar, who decorated temples and palaces with lavish gold and silver ornamentation, making it the most magnificent city of the day. Nebuchadnezzar's most noted contribution to the glory of Babylon was a series of terraced gardens called the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Kept lush and green by an elaborate irrigation system, these towering gardens were considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Nebuchanezzar may have built the gardens to please his wife, who was from Mede and missed the forested mountains of her homeland.Courtesy of Kids Discover 'Mesopotamia'

No. Not even close. No country can compare to a legendary, powerful city such as Babylon. Babylon has contributed so much to the growth of mankind, from science, mathematics, economics, diversity, law, language and architecture. Babylon was the first to make human rights into law. Babylon's human right laws, later in history, inspired the United Kingdom to write and enforce the first modern human right laws. America didn't have any such laws until over 100 years after the UK (and Europe) implemented theirs. Even the Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greek, Ancient Romans and British Empire, some of the most powerful civilisations in history, admitted in literature that nobody will ever be able to replace or replicate the glory of Babylon. The ruins of Babylon sit in Iraq.

Centuries ago, another powerful leader was temporarily set aside. Daniel 4 records the events of at least eight years when Nebuchadnezzar was the powerful king of Babylon. During this time, the king was warned in a dream of divine discipline. Choosing to disregard the warning, Nebuchadnezzar became insane for seven years, and his position and power were removed while he lived like an animal. Following the seven years of divine discipline, Nebuchadnezzar's sanity was restored.
