Hey there!  I found a website that may help.  It's kinda an overview of the Spanish Penal Code.  It's:  http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/world/spaincor3.htm.  And this one too:  http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/ascii/wfbcjspn.txt.\n\nHope this helps!

Go to the library and ask the librarian to show you where they keep the pamphlets. You might also want to visit a Spanish cultural center in your city. The one in Vancouver has lots of information about many Spanish speaking countries.

Welfare state is a term applied to any country that has government social programs to assist people when unemployed, retired, require medical care, low interest business loans, government grants, and such assistance.\n\nSo Canada is one such country that is considered a "welfare state".  England is another such country.\n\nWikipedia has a fairly good article about the term welfare state.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_state#Etymology

Well the most socialist that includes a free market and democratically elected government that I know of is Sweden.. Their gov. guarantees all of what you said Housing, Education, Health care, retirement as well as child care. This government has gotten so large that  65- 70% of all workers work directly or indirectly for the government. then again close to 70% of their paycheck goes to taxes. \nThis is the best unbiased example I can give of a free socialist state.\n\nThat choice is a perfectly valid choice for some people and the Swedes seem reasonably happy with it.\n\nThat said, I am not an advocate of a similar system here. Here are my reasons why\n-The Swedish economy per capita went from being one of europes strongest at the turn of the century to one of the weakest\n- High taxation rate drives private capital elsewhere and is one reason why the Government itself is the majority employer in Sweden. This has greatly reduced individual opportunity  to make any significant improvement in economic status..\n-with the Government providing housing health care and child care there is little use for marriage as an institution. The primary purpose of marriage is to provide a financially stable and nurturing environment in order to raise a family. In Sweden the Government has taken over these rolls  You may disagree with me but the statistics speak for themselves close to 50% of all couples in Sweden do not marry and the numbers are increasing. This in turn has lead to a negative population growth the birthrate in Sweden in among the lowest in the E.U.\n- In the end with a negative population growth and huge entitlements from the govt the populace ages and the whole system begins to collapse on itself. this is already starting in Sweden. this to a much lesser degree is happening here when it comes to social security to give you an example.\n\nI chose Sweden because it is a Socialist society born of democracy and not of totalitarianism as in such places as Cuba. this most embodies the path advocated by American socialist. I have tried to relate in an honest and unbiased  presentation the facts and why I object to that type of system and left the rhetoric to others. My point is a socialist state such as Swedens when transfered to a much more populace state like the US has even more difficulty sustaining itself. Sweden has managed to do it only by having a modest population and having the good fortune of substantial Oil revenues to bolster the tax base. My other point is that The big brother government tends to break down basic social structures over time, stiffel entrepreneurship and personal wealth generation and lessen opportunity that is the back bone of what has made America what it is.\n\nYou might look at Sweden and say sounds like paradise and you are entitled to that choice it is as valid as mine. I am not saying socialism is wrong. I am saying it is wrong for me and I believe wrong for my fellow citizens.

I BELIEVE YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES.  I KNOW IF YOU ARE ON WELFARE THEY HAVE A FEW PROGRAMS.  ONE THAT I CAN REMEMBER IS CRYSTAL STAIRS.

I guess you should try Systembolaget, which has the monopoly of Alcohol Retail in Sweden. Well actually cider and beer can also be bought elsewhere, but Systembolaget definitely has the widest range of brands. Their website is in Swedish, but it seemed pretty easy to use. The link below should take you to the search page. In the "Ursprung" (= country of origin) drop menu select Sverige (= Sweden in Swedish) and click Sök (= search) at the bottom of the page. It should then give you all the Swedish ciders they sell.

Except for the poorest of third world countries, almost any  country in the world has some form of welfare implemented, either in the form of public healthcare, social security, or at least a retirement scheme, or a combination of these.\nSome countries tend to have more effective and protective welfare systems that others, however. (The US being among the worst in the first world, and the only industrialized nation that does not have a comprehensive public healthcare system.)
