Guys, i`m from Russia and that`s not very cool. Our government often invent new and new taxes. Our RUB felt down to 50% of its 2013 year price. We have a lot of problem inside the country - the biggest one is corruption.
Third world countries? I thought this was a depiction of Italy. In Italy Taxes are now 50%-70% or so plus 24% VAT.
Now Italy has the Euro, but in 1992 The Italian Lira lost 30% overnight against the German Mark, with the introduction of the Euro Italian money lost another 50% of its value, and after the recent tax policy the real estate market lost 50-70% of its value in the past 5 years.
