You missed my point - on any of these 1000 or more, did they change anything or stop them? If not, then it’s largely just procedural, at least in effect.

Well as far as political systems go, Switzerland seems the gold standard from what I've read. And if you can deal with the cold then the Nordic nations seem pretty good, particularly Iceland. As for general day to day, I quite like the look of the laidback Mediterranean countries and la dolce vita rather than whatever the fuck the UK is about nowadays.
Switzerland is impossibly expensive, and immensely bureaucratic. The Nordic nations are lovely but so cold. Iceland is one of my favorite countries ever. But I could never live there.

Expensive yes but their system of government is absolutely superb.
> Switzerland's voting system is unique among modern democratic nations in that Switzerland practices direct democracy in parallel with representative democracy, which is why the Swiss system is known as a semi-direct democracy.[2] Direct democracy allows any citizen to challenge any law approved by the parliament or, at any time, propose a modification of the federal Constitution.
That’s my point.
