A Big Challenge

Dear visitors,
I would like to introduce to you a challenge that has proven extremely difficult to resolve. I will pit it straight forward.

How could you turn a poor, small country into a well-organized, legal, prosperous place?
You have the following limitations:
1) The whole law-enforcing system is totally corrupted and works in favour of criminals;
2) The people of the country accept what government officials do even if it’s brutally against the national interests;
3) There are officials in the Government that are completely out of respect for the people of the country. These officials know (by experience) they would not be punished in any way if they lie or steal;
4) Most of the capital is in possession of criminals – they are the richest businessmen, biggest investors and sponsors of politicians;
5) Since the country is small and doesn’t have enough energy resources it can hardly protect its interests. Most of the time it serves the interests of more powerful countries which hurts its economy and people.

These limitations are interconnected – they feed each other. For example, rich criminals “invest” in corrupting policemen and judges. In return, judges don’t send them to prison but allow them to take top positions in business and the government. That makes the illegal businessmen even richer. People see this and lose their faith in institutions (as the institutions no longer serve the common people’s interests – they work for the criminals) and the whole democratic system is undermined. How could that be changed?
