Not bad!\

@Hakujin - CA Wouldn't it be longer if you went South?

@Jacob @Wilhelm One thing that I find interesting, for instance, is the evolving structure of the Russian economy. Now, corruption is obviously much more of a problem over there than it is here, and part of that is cultural/maybe even genetic, but I think it's mostly just due to social inertia from the Soviet period. That said, though, Russia has lower barriers to entry in a lot of sectors than the States, they have a 13% flat tax on income, and a home ownership rate somewhere around 90%, but they also make sure that the commanding heights of the economy, particularly concerning natural resource deposits, are dominated by what Putin refers to as "national champions," such as Gazprom in the case of natural gas, the United Aircraft Corporation, the United Shipbuilding Corporation, and RosTech in the case of high technology, all of which are majority controlled by the state, usually with a 51% stake, and the rest of the investment covered by private capital. That way, there's ample room for free enterprise, but no sector can be seized and dominated by foreign parties.

@Deleted User Just wrong...

Socrates was a ...!

@Jacob Maybe if you went offroad, this is just with roads.

@Hakujin - CA https://wikitravel.org/en/Trans-Siberian_Railway Take the train instead. VERY EUROPEAN

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Very INDO-European 😎

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN But does it go from Portugal to Russia?

@Hakujin - CA I'm sure you can take a different train(s) from Lisbon to Moscow

Trains go slower, and often through more interesting scenery. You can interact with new, interesting people, and maybe get into a murder mystery.

Sleeper cars solve the issue of transport + lodging.

Also solves the question of "what to do with the vehicle" when you get to Vladivostock

@ThisIsChris There's definitely truth to what you're saying, which is why I'm extremely wary of the state retaining control over education, because so long as that remains the case, the state's in a position to dictate *which* societal norms are cultivated and perpetuated...

When you get to Vladivostok you drive the car to japan

Hold your breath

Get big enough tires and you can float-drive.

They're actually getting ready to build a bridge from Hokkaido to Sakhalin, which already has one to Vladivostok 😎

@ophiuchus Not sure...

If so you’ll be able to drive from London to Tokyo, which is completely unnecessary and also dope af

We gotta build a bridge from Alaska to Chukotka
