one of the things that should be remembered about a country that is controlled by it's people is that the people will always look out for their own best personal interests. What that would mean is, that while they would indeed have a better economy and better funded government/military, they will seek to insure that their lives and prosperity isn't jeopardized by prurient interests of an overbearing government.....that is until their political ideas get split in to extremist left/right/centrist ideologies.
