Hey, Ireland is the tiger of Europe right now. They dropped a whole slew of government controls and such and lured many high tech companies, including Intel. They have a booming economy. I got the dual citizenship for EU benefits, I can go to any EU country and work without much hassle.
BTW, Intel is opening a big fab in Vietnam, which is great. I went to Vietnam about a year and a half ago and enjoyed it, its one of the most capitalistic places I've ever been.

Hardly. The Vietnamese govenment still controls much of the economy. For example:
