> The West is made up of countries that often have 40%+ of their economy made up by government spending, ie, spending that wouldn't happen under a free market.

How about Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Chile?

What what is the "correct" percent to spend? And, what non-microstate countries do you consider "free market"?

By the time you include: military, education, health, and infrastructure, it is very hard to be less than 25% for any highly developed nation.
