I feel like I can comfortably assume you are not European.

Are you thinking of ~10 more well known progressive countries with strong social policies, high GDP and strong economies.

There are 50 countries in Europe, many experiencing civil unrest, some who's economies famously tanked in recent years, several that are currently at war with each other, dozens that are recovering from recent wars, terror and loss of territory or government control.

If we look at Europe as a whole and split the idea of a "functional" society into select criteria, then yes, we can point to individual European countries and identify the structures, policies and practices that make that country functional in that aspect of a society. But that dies not make "much of Europe" a functional society.

I stand by my statement that no one place on earth is fully functional, ethically and equitably simultaneously serving all its peoples.
