You left Mongolia off your list of former communist countries.
I just visited Mongolia. There are a lot of lessons to be learned there.
You are correct. I got my "former" list from Google. Google doesn't list it as former communist for some reason.
What are ten lessons to be learned in Mongolia? Ten is "a lot."
Mongolia DID produce the world's biggest killer.
Genghis Khan's annihilation of the people of Asia is recorded as PERCENTAGE of the people of Asia he killed.

Also from Google: Mongolia held its first ever democratic elections since the time of the Great Khans on July 29th, 1990, when surprisingly the Mongolian Peoples Revolutionary Party, the former communist party, was elected. It is with much emotion that Mongolians reflect on the communist experience.
Did you enjoy yourself there? I hope so.
