New Zealand and Brazil have increasing similarity.

NZ is nationalizing/confiscating private businesses including those they previously sold.

For example, they sold Vector and then declared that the maximum profit allowed was little more than bank interest which of course caused a collapse in my share price. They did the same with Telecom [selling then regulating them]. They did the same with Auckland Airport = sell it to the public then refuse to let the Canadian Pension Scheme buy it because it is a "strategic asset" as though the Canadians would pick up the runway and ship it to Canada - but the government let China buy a chunk of Vector assets, which are far more strategic.
