I don't even think it's possible, given the disparate cultures and societies that exist. Some peoples (such as those in the Middle East and some in Latin America) are simply not suited for a form of government (republic, limited democracy) that promotes capitalism. It's not in their nature, their history, their culture. And to try to force it is foolish.

Given the history of these nations and cultures it is going to take a long time. Japan became a Constitutional Monarchy and Singapore has definitely become a very Capitalist Free market enclave. Likewise in the Middle east there is a very strong trader tradition but the Islamic prohibition on interest and teh Koranic implication that government should be theocratic in nature and enforce Islamic law also get in the way.
