Non-socialist countries typically embrace capitalist or mixed economic systems, where private ownership and market forces play a significant role in the economy. Examples include the United States, Canada, Australia, and many Western European nations. These countries often prioritize individual entrepreneurship, free markets, and limited government intervention in economic activities. However, the classification can vary based on specific policies and practices within each nation.

As of now, two countries often described as socialist are Cuba and North Korea. These countries have economies and governments that prioritize socialist principles such as state ownership of key industries, centralized planning, and social welfare programs.
Most often, since a socialist state controls and administers much more economic production than a non-socialist state, it requires more internal revenues to finance its operations. Additionally, high tax rates are conductive to income redistribution, which is considered an important element of socialism.
There are no complete socialist countries in Western Europe or any part of Europe, actually. Portugal is the only nation whose constitution contains some socialistic ideas, but it is not enough to be considered a socialist country.
