    It's as perfect as Franco's Spain, Salazar's Portugal, Mussolini's Italy and little less perfect that Hitler's Germany, Stalin's USSR etc. More in line with the post WWI regimes of Romania, Hungary etc. though.

    Totalitarian dictatorship, enforced fascistic nationalism, opression of ethnic and religious identities, autarchia and so on... Not to mention mass or singular murders, exiles and all that sexy stuff. Dreamland indeed.

    But don't you guys have a parliament? And wouldn't you guys eventually turn from the more extreme nationalistic views to the more moderated views that the more western nations hold of themselves?

    We've had a parliament since 1950. (There was one, in name, before that too but everybody were assigned by the dictators orders. Elections were a formality.) It didn't stop the military caste to intervene in 1960, 1971, 1980 and 1997 though.

    The horrible training system and the way mass media works won't let people awake from nationalism and it by-product. Nowadays things are apparently improving but that doesn't change the fact that we're half a century behind the world.

    So would it basically be like a smaller version of todays Russia that doesn't mess with its neighbors as much?

    I don't know today's Russia too much, except what we see and hear from the outside, but despite its possible similarities I believe it waters down the dramatic experience this country has been through for a century now.
