I say Israel - and I hope this is taken in an utterly nonpartisan way, which takes absolutely no position vis-a-vis the legitimacy of either conservatism or the Israeli state. I just think some core aspects of Israeli government and society are in line with mainstream US conservatism: a free-market liberal democracy of course, but with formal religious-ethnic affiliation, compulsory military service with training on firearms (and licensing to possess same) for all citizens, and a generally hawkish stance on questions of military and defense. They are also highly security-oriented, some would say in a much more effective way than the US government, and its security apparatus employs profiling techniques which almost undoubtedly have a racial component (<span>and </span><span>conservatives would no doubt want to insist that these two facts are directly related). I believe that taxation rates are roughly on par with that in the US, if not a bit less... though not nearly as low as Switzerland. </span>

Peter the Great was a czar in Russia that did some extensive reforms in an attempt to make Russia great. He started a lot of wars but it was to expand his Tsardom and it worked. It became a major European power. He also led a cultural revolution that replaced the more traditional and medieval social and political systems into a modern one with modern science and based on the enlightenment. He founded and developed the city of St. Petersburg which was the capital of Russia until 1917.
Peter reorganized the Russian army and dreamed of making Russia a maritime power. He faced a lot of opposition to these policies at home and he brutally suppressed rebellions against his authority, including by the Streltsy, Bashkirs, Astrakhan, and the greatest civil uprising of his reign, the Bulavin Rebellion.
