What are the most conservative, free-market, Bible-obeying Nations in the world?
I'm starting a project to list the world's nations by how closely they follow the Bible and/or Republican Party Platform.
To Do: http://www.nationmaster.com/index.php is a great research tool for this project. I also want to keep things lively with lots of pictures, anecdotes, and so on. I don't want another dry, dull paper that only eggheads read. Please post links to information on the nations we talk about. There are already lists of which nation claims to be the most devout, based on polling, church attendance, etc. This is good, but only part of the picture, however. I'm looking for deeds, not just words. That means that even Muslims can be counted as "Bible Obeying", because so much of Biblical Law and Sharia Law overlap (due to their plagiarism). To avoid: There are also the "economic freedom indexes" compiled by the Fraser Institute in Canada and the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. However, these lists are completely flawed, they simply listed nations by wealth, resulting in Sweden and other socialist nations around the top!:wacko: I sure hope they don't end up believeing their own propaganda, I don't want to see the Star Spangled Banner replaced by an ABBA ditty any time soon! :fear2: Quote:
Anyway, the claims that Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Or Chile are/where particularly free-market are bogus. Read on to find who the real contenders are. Close but not perfect: The "Failed States Index" What happens when government gets "small enough to drown in a bathtub"? Liberals call this a "failed state", but True Christians™ call it a successful private-sector. The "Failed States Index" from Foreign Policy magazine measured the same things I'm looking at, but it uses an incomprehensible liberal propaganda-language. I have translated to english [in the brackets].: Quote:
Best are on top: Somalia Democratic Republic of the Congo Sudan South Sudan Chad Yemen Afghanistan Haiti Central African Republic Zimbabwe Iraq Ivory Coast Pakistan Guinea Guinea-Bissau Nigeria Kenya Niger Ethiopia Burundi Conclusions: There must be something wrong with the index if Saudi Arabia doesn't make the top 20. I notice the failed states index didn't say anything about feminazis or homos. I think that explains why Islamic Nations didn't do so well. We'll need to add feminazism and sodomites to the calculations before our index is truly complete. Anything else missing? Edit: I also wonder why Cambodia isn't higher on the list. Also North Korea with its patriotism, law and order, support the troops ethic, and it's corporate consolidation (the whole economy is basically one corporation), and lack of whining about inequality (the whole nation is the property of a hundred or so people). |

I need to add a warning that Nationmaster can be very misleading if you don't account for nations that simply aren't counted. For example, I was looking at Church Attendance to measure religiosity, only to discover that no Muslim countries were there, and only two African nations are counted (both are in the top 4).
Moral of the story: always check the map first and discard any study that excludes entire continents. |

I have always seen Iran as the model: a complete theocracy governed by laws as ancient as the people and solely designed so that the citizens are assured of entry to heaven.
And that last point is the only purpose of government. If it is possible to create such a Mudslime state, think how much better a Christian state would be! We are wiser, think more deeply, are more patriotic and more faithful to the One True God than they will ever be. |

Nations with highest gun ownership:
1. USA! USA! USA! 2. Yemen! Yemen! Yemen! (You know a place with "Men" in the title has to be good) 3. Switzerland - doesn't count, they have bullet-control and without bullets a gun is a club 4. Cyprus - gun-controlled tyranny, see below. 5. Saudi Arabia 6. Iraq - of course Iraq is among the most conservative nations, when we took over its whole government was redesigned by republican think-tanks. There you have it: the 5 places in the world with the least tyranny and crime. Bonus points to Angola (#17) for having a gun in its flag. So does Hezbollah (they run part of Lebanon). This is embarrassing, why didn't we think of that? America's flag should have gun barrels for stripes and bullet-holes for stars. Edit: Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Pakistan*, and Afganistan allow fully-automatic AK-47s, which America doesn't. Also factor in that their populations are mostly children, unlike the USA. As for Cyprus: Quote:
Most firepower per adult: 1. Yemen 2. Saudi Arabia 3. Iraq 4. Pakistan 5. Afganistan 6. USA Quote:

In Yemen, men and boys also carry a curved ornamental dagger called a janbiya.

We only have shotguns at our place but my husband and I are both expert shooters and don't need anything else. When my sister in law told me her hubby bought an assault rifle I told her shooting lessons will get you a lot farther than a high powered gun. She's mad at me now but it's kinda the truth. Deer season is coming up and we're each taking one shotgun and one bullet. All we need. Hopefully baby #7 will stay in for a few more weeks, I'd hate to miss deer hunting this year staying in the menstra shack because I'm unclean :(

I'm not sure what to make of these depression statistics.
Many of my previously-favorite nations are highly depressed, and some of the worst socialist hellholes (aka Europe) are less depressed. Now, depression isn't necessarily about whiny emos cutting themselves. There's also good conservative depression, which involves country music and lots of staring at whisky. Depression is often a result of anxiety, and of course we are commanded to FEAR THE LORD. Also, if it's women and the poor who are depressed, that's a good sign, because they won't be uppity. I think that's mostly what's happening in the muslim nations, which is another True Conservative™ feather in their cap. |

Unlike what liberal hippies claim, depression is not a reason to just drown yourself in alcohol and prozac. What depression actually is is simply the realization that not everything is perfect. With a bit of a can-do-attitude anyone with a depression can turn that prerequisite realization into a great entrepreneurial enterprise.
The depression statistics aren't relevant, it's what you do with your depression that matters. |

The World Values Survey has done the work for me:

So why is the USA such a crime-ridden country? With the exception of Monaco, it has the highest crime rate of any western country. The US also has the highest intentional homicide rate of any western country (with the exception of the Baltic states, and ex USSR) OK, slay me ;) |

Somalia would be a paradise on earth right now were it filled with white christians instead of jet-black mooslems.

Jesus wants us all to get along and be tolerant of our differences. Not so full of hate that we are divided in His eyes. Maybe you should think more about the Golden Rule and how you would like to be treated if you went to their country? ThinksDesign |
