I believe you can chew it, but if you litter with it, you can be whipped. I'm not sure though.

"Singapore. No question. "

Well maybe if you are Malaysian or Phillipino there might be a question if you can't become a citizen.

Russia has a flat tax, so their tax system is conservative.

Perhaps your question would be better put as: "What is the country that is most free?"

According to the libertarians, the most conservative country in the world would have to be socialist-leaning Netherlands, based upon the public orgy pits being so tolerated there, and the George Soros socialist 'harm reduction' policies ...

... or Somalia where there's no gun control, drug war, taxes, or laws.

Since most of the conservatives on FR also want religion in government, I would venture to say their idea of a real conservative government is a theocracy like Iran.

Religion? I don't think so! God, yes. The Judeo-Christian principles of our founding fathers, yes. Religion, no.

It also depends on what your understanding is of the nature of God and what He expects of us -- personally, I have absolutely nothing in common with the theocrats in Iran!!!

Singapore is great for free enterprise, but it is VERY expensive, and reminds me of Beverly Hills...nobody home, nobody LIVING their lives.

The theocratic form of government in Iran seems to be what conservatives want here, albeit not Islamic.
