Haha. The French are socialists. You still don't get that there are not really any socialists in the US.

I reckon your countries biggest challenge (and mine) is echoed throughout the western world - aging populations, insufficient birth rates and a lack of (direct) saving by either private individuals or (most) governments means that there could be some serious pain - or major changes - in a decade or two.
I also wonder what the impact of China's and India's populations increasing desire to be middle class will do to the cost of goods and services (and hence the buying power of the western world).

Actually I would say there is no country in the world that has no aspects of socialism in it. And it's impossible to have that....the country wouldn't survive for long....
Let me state, I don't agree with being a socialist country, I think capitalism in general is a better system, but a society with zero socialist-type programs would fail fast.
