To begin with the land in which they reside must have a range of resources that they can sell such as timber, metals, gold and diamonds. They must also be adaptable to change.

The people also need to very creative and inventive these ideas can then be sold to another country which makes the host country richer. The government must be organised and must appease its people otherwise a revolt can ensue and destroy the country's economy.

The country can also be quite powerful and take away resources from other countries, their finances needed to be organised well so that their currency doesn't grow weaker.

Well said from the guy above, I just wanted to add something. Most the new rich countries in the Arabian Peninsula such as United Arab Emirates and Qatar got rich from one thing. Oil.

From that wealth, they turned into more of a financial hub and a high rise city.

Now they are home to offices of Real Estate firms, and Financial firms as well.

What do you consider to be the current social problems of greatest concern?

The most current social problem present the greatest concern to me is the economic. At the moment, the most mayor problem to our community is the economic. The economic had created a mayor community needs in jobs. Many of our communities' individuals are unemployed. Many individuals are not making enough income to pay their household expenses, bringing food to the table and even paying health insurance. The economic is everyone concern at the moment and as part of the community, we should do something about it. More business need to be created so more individuals can be hire, avoid self employment so governor can control taxes payer and control hourly rate pay. Many businesses are employing individual as self employed to avoid taxes and pay individual less hourly rate and less salary.

Name a socialist country?

Communist States

The five countries that are usually referred to as Communist (a type of Socialism) are:

  • China
  • Cuba
  • Vietnam
  • Laos
  • North Korea

There are disputes as to whether or not certain of these states are actually socialist in action or only name. For example:

China is not Socialist.. anymore. It is ruled by a communist party, without a communist ideology. Ever read the book Animal Farm? Perfect example of what is happening in China I imagine. Many are rich, most are poor. Living standards are poor and there is no social welfare anywhere. People, this is not Socialism at all.

Socialist States

Cuba is still socialist despite its decline similar to North Koreas after the collapse of the USSR. When people think of these countries they think of Communism but that's not further from the truth, communism and socialism are the exact opposites. So, the answer is if you want to know countries that call themselves Socialist or Communist then here you go.

There were also many historical countries in Africa or Asia that were socialist at different periods, such as Algeria, Angola, Afghanistan, Yemen, Cambodia, etc.

Socialism in Other Countries

In the modern world many countries have Socialist tendencies when it comes to the welfare of its citizens. Socialism defends the rights of the workers and the underprivileged against larger corporations and more conservative ideologues. In this way, it gives a voice and a power to those who otherwise would have no mechanism to fight for their rights. Socialists have largely been responsible for the establishment of labor standards, the creation and designation of national treasures, improving healthcare and access to medicine, and shifting the tax burden from a regressive tax on individuals to a progressive tax that targets corporations.

Countries that have exhibited forms of Socialism include (among others):

  • Norway
  • Sweden
  • Denmark
  • Iceland
  • Switzerland
  • France
  • Ireland
  • Canada
  • Japan
  • Venezuela
  • Germany (a little)
  • United Kingdom
  • United States of America (in a few respects)

Socialism basically means "bringing all the big corporations, controlling around 80% of the economy, into democratic public ownership, under democratic working-class control."

Which is the case for no countries in current society.

So the answer to your question is NONE.

(Some would argue that the U.S. is well on its way to being/already is socialist.)
