    Depends even then lol. You can have 1st world infrastructure and (considered) 4th world class government.
    Just look at Germany. If something is remote doable, you probably at best can only do it via FAX. There is an incentive to improve it but yeaaaah…

    Just recently the extra3 show in german TV (current topics presented in a cabaret, comedic and/or satirical way) showed a guy that emigrated to Australia for some time (at least not a full transition). His wallet was stolen with his german drivers license inside. He asked the german embassy in Australia if they could create a new license for him there.
    No dice, can’t do here (not like they could print one in Germany and mail it there with air mail or so).
    He tried it with Germany: Nope. Only in person (+ a fee for creating this mandatory piece of plastic).
    He asked again the local embassy just in case: Nope. But you could travel back and come again for a (in total) 30h flight time + 5000€ in flying to get one :)
    The conclusion was: Commercial license (no public driving in a personal car. Only for business) and for a private license he has to travel back and forth.

      Yeah I retract my comment, I’ve worked with people in Germany and Japan before. Faxes were required for both!
