What about Australia, although as an Australian we do manage to mess us quite a lot of the natural bounty we inherited.

Australia's economy is not even close to being dominated by natural resources. Your mining boom also isn't that old (only about 10 years).

Nonetheless, it doesn't appear to be having a positive effect on your politics. Imagine if people like Gina Rinehart started to dominate.
