Uh, Carl, Singapore, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Cuba all have very strong authoritarian central governments that would quickly crush any threat or dissent that showed up within their borders. The one exception is the Northwest Territories in Pakistan are pretty autonomous and anarchic. I think you nailed it with Somalia though.

Not that probably anyone here cares about this: in response to the election, the US Stock Market took a major dive as foreign investors pulled their capital and took it all to Asia (-312.95 points). By comparison, the Hang Seng Index (Asian market) was up 155 points. How's that unemployment figure gonna look now?

If I'm not mistaken Singapore is one of the better place to live in... Low crime, awesome education, lowest corruption, good health care and bunch of other things...

If you look at the trend, it has been trending down. In the last month, it has dropped over 600 points. Even the NASDAQ dropped 74.64 points (2.48% loss). Todays loss on DJ was 2.36%. In a global market, that is considered substantial.
Market did stablize after a massive selloff this morning. Around 1130am it ticked back up, but still finished with a serious loss...

Yes, but they're all very socially conservative, so there's no gay marriage or abortion allowed at all. And judging by the GOP party platform, those are the things conservatives think are absolutely essential to a strong vibrant economy.

the only ones that might be unemployed due to a market glitch, are stockbrokers and that's the way it should be.!!

Abortion is legal in Singapore, China, Cuba, N Korea and Russia... And if I'm not mistaken they also have free health care and education, which aren't typical socially conservative values...

Oh well, you can't have everything. Maybe there really isn't a Paradise on Earth?

Hell in China it's not just legal it's mandatory and big business. Don't they still have the one child law?

are you a fucking moron it had nothing to do with the election, but future outlook on the European markets. That's the problem with the faggots like you, you just take one thing and throw it out there like well huh huh huh that means there is an obvious connection; without any depth or research into what's really going on, simplistic simpletons as far as your willing to reason

They might be a communist country but I doubt abortion is actual business unless the are catering to rich middle eastern ladies ;-)
China does have a 1 child policy law but they are thinking about overturning the law... I saw a 60 minutes bit on it.

The closest match to the Republican economic model is probably Ireland.
