Wow fascinating, Thanks for the detail. Sorry for your troubles, especially the closed tech of settlement stuff, I find any time it is single source, someone involved cheaps out and it never works right.

Grats thou on having your own company.

So who runs the country? Is it a parliament system? Rich people? Outside countries? Religious organization?

As Ukrainian, I can answer the question. So, ultra-rich are super powerful, they own tv channels, media, bankroll political parties. Most political parties are aligned with their donors. Foreign policy is dictated by US, more or less. Zelenskiy is interesting, because he actively tries to undermine some of the existing financial groups and consolidate the power. There are presidential elections every 5 years and the same for parliament. It is very volatile, political parties have very fast churn, current parliament is something like 80% newcomers, literally.

I think our country is being ruled by both reach people with access to energy resources, and desire to play our national sport - a political split. I mean, keep trying to take best of both worlds: first world is a world with cheap gas/gasoline and low taxes and ability to solve some legal problems with bribes (yes it is corruption) and free medicine (btw we have a tradition to put few hundred hryvnas into doctor's pocket after conversation about my current health problems - and nobody counts it as corruption); and a second world is a world with democracy (at least changeable government), decent human rights, ability to travel across Europe w/o vises, Europe-quality medicine and an access to European markets.

My answer (I'm also a citizen of Ukraine): country is run by ambassadors and advisors of a few Western countries.
