Swan Man,
The issue of the type of government is fairly irrelevant as long as it maintains a high level of living for its citizens. As long as people have nice houses, good healthcare, clean cities ... they just not care how the rulers are defined. The poor Arabic nations end up with revolutions while for the rich ones it is business as usual.
As long as the income is there no reason to worry.
Wizofoz, I do agree with your statement.
