Sounds like Japan actually. All highly regimented societies are alike and can be very successful when the laws and incentives are aligned or a total disaster otherwise

Germany/Japan/Taiwan/South Korea are all easy targets cause they are all examples of compressed modernity post WW2 (their rebuild and trajectory was decided not by locals but by the hegemon).

Rate of economic change happened faster than the natural rate of change society, politics, culture could handle.
