Oman is probably the best. Though they are an absolute monarchy, they've managed to stay neutral in the destructive conflicts plaguing the Middle East, most notably the Saudi-Iranian rivalry. That in itself is a great achievement.

Easy to say when you're comfortably sitting with all your free speech and liberty. I'd also add that it's pretty unfair to call us worse than an authoritarian, theocratic absolute monarchy because we don't "stay out" of conflicts when we're literally everyone's favourite boogeyman in the region. We can't stay out.

Not to mention that staying out of conflict isn't really something that I would consider to be inherently virtuous.

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue...

You say that as if some of us don't want to live in such a country.

I support theocracy.  Which religion, it doesn't matter.

If that's the case, have you heard the good word of the Cult of John Dule?
