There's still a lot to improve in Germany too. From a Northern European perspective the German bureaucracy is archaic and inefficient, though points for thoroughness. The main complaints would be 1. Lack of Internet services. This may be hindered by lack of national strong authentication? I'm not German national so not sure what the pain point there is. 2. Paper based. The paper is the document, instead of being a representation of a fact. I'm not used to storing paper. I assume this is also at least a partial reason to the astronomical side costs of apartment purchases. 3. Lack of communication between authorities. Granted, this may be by design as a privacy guarantee. Regardless, taking a paper from one place to another is inefficient. I'm used to, say, banks reporting my capital income to the tax office without me having to work as a useless mediator.
