Economy Type: Socialist
A socialist economy is an economy that would not only help the wealthy but also care for the middle class workers and others who might not prove able to cope with the strenuous competitive demands of a market economy. Instead of catering only to the very rich (Market Economy) and instead of giving the government complete control (Command Economy)

Type of Government: Social Democracy
A democratic welfare state that incorporates both capitalist and socialist practices. There are many advantages such as individual freedoms, a government that the people vote on and everyone agrees with, and the protection of minority groups and benefits for the poor. This would go alongside the economy in which the poor are cared for, and free healthcare is available for all. Social democrats generally support work and trade unions, free education and gender equality. Overall, the government would be peaceful which wouldn’t result in riots and tension between the citizens of the country and the politicians. It would be a very peaceful, patriotic state.
