East Germany and it's not even close.
1970s was when Honecker started his "unity of social and economic policy" shift, which meant the government started massively increasing wages, new buildings and importing defitsit items from the West to try and "win" people back to the system. It was the country's highest point (also beginning of the end, since Honecker achieved it all by taking out unpayable credit loans in the West, but not my problem.)
>muh Stasi
If I'm doomed to live there regardless I simply would not try and rebel, and the Stasi really didn't care as long as you weren't doing something nefarious like that. They kept files on people but it's not like they were just fucking with people for the lulz at random. It wasn't the NKVD.
