What name is given to a country which main aim you the maximization of profit?

I think what your asking it what economic system is in place in a country where firms maximise profit. The answer is Capitalism. Under Capitalism, such as we observe in the western world (UK, USA etc) each firm produces a product or service in order to make profit. The firm then allocates this profit amongst shareholders or individual owners as it sees fit. Under Communism, which was observed in Eastern Europe and the USSR, each firm produced a good or service which is allocated by the state.
