Globalization is an issue with complicated variables making causal relationships hard to distinguish. Thus in an attempt to increase accuracy and distinguish correlation between variables I selected Albania as the best representative of Europe.

Today Albania is a parliamentary democracy, this scaling growth allows for the measurement and demonstration of different economic policies.
