Until you said indvidual freedom, I would have said China-- communism almost sounds nice. But no nation has all of those things except the Kingdom of Heaven, which is eternal.

Most of the countries you named have had nothing to do with Communism.  Germany???  Try Fascism, which is the farthest thing from Communism you can get!\n\nI don't think you have much of a grip on history, "isms", or the current situation in the Middle East. \n\nYou sound just like the type of guy the Army is looking for....

CCP is the party that currently controls China, and has for the last 60-ish years: the Chinese Communist Party.\n\nUnless you mean CCCP, which is USSR translated into Russian.

China is an ILliberal capitalist country.  They are communist in name only, probably because they'd find it too embarrassing to admit that they've totally abandoned communism and did so years ago.  But they did nto abandon their autocratic control-freak government.

China. Because they are in transition from purely communistic economy to a blended communist/capitalist. \n\nSorry not 500 words.

Good, for the leaders, bad for everyone else.  It's a BIG lie.  It has never worked.  Communist countries have all had to keep people from leaving.  If they had been allowed to leave they all would have.  Communist countries have mostly failed.  They couldn't feed their own people.  China is getting away from Communism, Cuba is barely hanging on.

China.\n\nNo government will admit using torture, but it goes on in almost every country. The important point is that Is the use of torture limited with low-rank people-isolated cases? Or Is the use of torture a certain systemic policy?\n\nI like colorful and interesting face of Chinese culture. China is a great country with a remarkable history. However, deep rooted torture culture has a considerable place in that greatness and torture still remains widely in use in China.\n\n“ Amnesty International’s 2001 report on torture in China documents its use at all levels of society: Torture is widespread and systemic, committed in the full range of state institutions, from police stations to ‘re-education through labor’ camps, as well as in people’s homes, workplaces and in public. Torture is carried out by police and other security officials, tax and fine collectors, judges, prosecutors, court clerks, party leaders and leaders of villages………..Police routinely arrest and torture those they suspect of prostitution or vagrancy…… …In Tibet and in Xinjang Uighur Autonomous Region ( XUAR), political dissidents are routinely tortured.”  (2003, History of Punishment, Lewis Lynos)\n\nMost of the European countries and USA has also an ugly torture background not only regarding the dark age or during slavery or colonialism but in the recent history also. But at least in these countries,today, there is a certain effort to put an end (though nowadays I am quite doubtful about it because of latest USA policy ) \n\nAnyway, according to me, China still seems to be the country that torture mostly used and unfortunately, seems to be unwilling about producing a determined policy and showing an effort to prevent it.\n\nWorld Report 2006 / China\nHuman Rights Watch\nhttp://hrw.org/english/docs/2006/01/18/china12270.htm\n\n\nChina torture 'still widespread' \nBBC News /2 December 2005 \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4491026.stm\n\n\nTorture - A Growing Scourge in China\nAmnesty International / 12 February 2001\nhttp://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/engASA170042001?OpenDocument&of=COUNTRIES%5CCHINA\n\n\nCountry Reports: China and Tibet\nHuman Rights Watch\nhttp://www.hrw.org/doc?t=asia&c=china

China isn't a shining example of communism any longer. In fact, they're about as capitalist and exploitative of their workers as any industrial age country has been. They're also been pretty crafty with their currency by tying it to the US currency, which has been key to their economic boon. Look at the rest of communism for your answers though. Cuba. Ukraine. Russia. Hardly triumphant. I would even say that a large part of India's woes right now are tied to the heavy socialist lein in government, not an excess of capitalist ambition.

Romania is in Eastern Europe, north of Bulgaria, west of Moldova. It is the only country in Eastern Europe that speaks a Romance language, hence the name "Roman"ia. in the twentieth century alone, there was three forms of government- a monarchy, with King Carol II and King Michael I. Then, there was a communist state, lasting from 1947-by the creation of Constantin Parhon-to 1989, with the trial and execution of Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu. Then, there was a democracy, with Ion Iliescu as president until 2004, with Emil Constantinescu having a term in between Iliescu's two terms. The current president is Traian Basescu

The communist bloc of nations consisted of countries allied to the Soviet Union from 1945 to the early 1990's.  While the Warsaw Pact (Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and at one time Albania) was part of the communist bloc, the bloc also included other communist countries such as Yugoslavia, Cuba, North Korea, Angola, Vietnam, etc.\n\nThe term Communist Bloc was mostly used in the United Nations General Assembly when the communist countries would join together to oppose resolutions proposed by America and its allies..

India. It is a democracy and China is a dictatorship. Simple as that.
