Socialist countries

Description

The list of countries that are/were de-facto and/or de-jure socialist. I listed here leftist dictatorships (not meant as a swear word) with interventionst economy, as well as countries with constitutionally enshrined socialist orientation, optionally, with social-oriented market economy.

Basically, this is an edited adaptation of this Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_socialist_states).

Links here are not supposed to work, they are used as highliters. In parentheses you can see the title of one or another regime ("regime" is not meant to be a bad word, alright?). "/" is used between different titles of the same regime in the same country. ";" is used between the titles or periods of the different regimes in the same country.
