You are right, the real test of a "proper government" will be after the economy crashes for extended periods of time. For USA it will be after our bull run slows down over the next century. Germany failed the test last century. Side note: Germany's "proper government" in the 20th century, was building concentration camps like "Shark Island" in West Africa for human experimentation pre-WWI and WWII while the economy was booming. So IMO it would fail many tests in the foreign policy department.
