      …and have it run by a greedy, despotic dictator. Make sure the dictator says its a capitalist country though, seeing as labels are more important than what’s actually happening in a country.

        That nearly does describe most capitalist countries though. It’s just that the wealthiest people in them, the oligarchs are the despotic rulers whom the government runs itself for.

          It also describes South Korea under the literal fascist dictatorship it was running until 1980.
