Quote from: Goldernen Oxernen on Apr 15, 2025, 09:00 PMWhat you would encounter in Nigeria, Indonesia or Bangladesh is by far the more honest way.

Despite the fact that the sort of corruption you find in the places you mention is more straightforward, I wouldn't like living in any of those countries anymore than I like living in Trumpolini's Amerika.  Particularly in my situation given their social services for the disabled are politely described as substandard. lol.

In today's world, I would rank countries like Finland and Denmark as having the most equitable and least corrupt goobermint systems among developed countries if I were able to freely move countries and be accepted as a citizen.  Alternatively, living on some small non-touristy island in the Society Islands chain in a grass hut would be OK if I get my pension money and the dollar still works.  I'm sure I could pay a couple of native girls enough to give me sponge baths and clean the shack and satellite internet is available.  Anarchy with a capital A only works in very small homogenous societies, IMHO.
