  Lithuania's gov digitalisation is a bit of a farce. To use it - you need to login via your bank or couple of other supremely inconvenient forms of homegrown federated login systems, none of which offer a simple U2F. Then you get a form that 99% of time doesn't work on mobile. When you do fill it, actual government clark picks it, reviews it and 4 weeks later you get a response - "you need to come to the office to verify your identity". Contrast it with NZ - I had to send my documents via post. In 6 years I NEVER had to visit ANY of government agency but I did receive visas and passports, just simply by post (if you have local drivers licence you do get to use local online services, which is a stupid barrier to begin with, but whatever).

  > Lithuania has been capitalist for 20+ years and quality of life has increased by a lot ever since. That's what I said. Lithuania had it bad under communism (USSR). Maybe they are simply not interested in having an other communist regime (the CCP) meddle into it's internal affairs.

    Ah yes, I agree completely with that
