The war isn't an excuse to justify the low living standards of my country. The social and financial situations have always been a mess here. It's a corrupt country where people aren't to be trusted, because they always want to take advantage of each other, from the lowest classes to the highest ones. I live in a rich country from the natural resources and territory size points of view, but all the wealthy given by the nature isn't enough to maintain a greedy wicked system where authorities from the 3 powers (executive, legislative and judiciary) are constantly uniting themselves in order to put their personal interests above the interests of the country and development of its people. On the practice it means authorities are constantly raising their wages, practicing and hiding the corruption schemes of their pairs, creating laws which benefit them and their friends, while also partnering with big businessmen for obtaining advantages and giving advantages at same time. In the end we have a country ruled by greedy corrupt authorities plus oligopolies generated and propitiated by the hands of the first mentioned group.

Of course there aren't perfect countries, but I have the perception mine is a free sample of the hell,... But for degenerated, selfish individuals who think the end justifies the means at all costs, it can be considered the paradise.

Funny thing there is no war here and people are considered pacific, although you can be stabbed in the back at any moment. So at time it's a pro, it's also a con, because in a war, at least the enemies are declared, but in a country like mine you never know who they are or when you are going to encounter them.
