I've read that their governance was geared towards stability, not growth or disruption. It helps with keeping things going for a long time.

I'm confused. How could their leaders earn a big enough quarterly bonus to blow on cocaine?

Edit: This might be something modern government models could adapt and use, to everyone's benefit... If we can just crack the cocaine challenges with it.

I think I'm joking, except I can't stop thinking about how a universal basic cocaine subsidy might actually be what is needed to convince a bunch of problematic leaders to retire...

I suspect it's unbridled psychopathic greed that's the problem.

That still doesn't answer whether a universal basic cocaine subsidy would solve the problem.

Cocaine is actually quite cheap to make...
