Germany -- like most of Europe -- has a broad safety net: benefits for the poor and unemployed, universal health care and good pensions.

VOA: standard.2010.06.16

The universal state will never allow for or does not allow for the kind of self-perfection that a small, self-governing polis will have.

万国之城将永不会允许,或说不会允许一种自我完善,那只有在小型，自治的城邦中才行得通。
