To be clear, I'm not saying that the Soviet Union was undermined by a conspiracy of speculators and parasites, but that its economic system was rife with conflicts of interest from the start. It probably would not have survived as long as it did without factory managers trading and stockpiling spare parts behind the scenes.

I don't disagree.

A major incident can be defined as any emergency that requires the implementation of special arrangements by one or more of the Emergency Services, the [health service] or local Authority for:
- The initial treatment, rescue and transport of a large number of casualties.
- The involvement, either directly or indirectly, of large numbers of people.
- The handling of a large number of enquiries likely to be generated, both from the public and the news media, usually to the Police.
- The need for large scale combined resources of the emergency services.
- The mobilisation and organisation of the emergency services and supporting organisations, e.g. local authority, to cater for the threat of death, serious injury or homelessness to a large number of people.

Is using an Mi-26 or potentially even a larger helicopter (obviously an NS one as Mi-26 is the largest helicopter even in production IIRC) for any of the following purposes useful/viable?
- Multiple Casualty Unit
- Mobile Hospital
- Mobile Command Post
- Mobile Communications Relay
/other duties where it operates similar to how a large specialized trailer or RV would, basically landing in an area for personnel to operate in and around it (e.g. have a mobile hospital inside to treat relatively major wounds, and set up awnings/tents from/around it where triage and minor injuries are handled, etc.)
Also would it be practical to have several of these fly out to some remote location (allegedly with sufficient resources or awaiting resource shipments) and essentially land and set up an ad-hoc base (assuming they had a reason) ?
What I basically want to know is essentially, are these helicopters prohibitively expensive to use in such fashion (and numbers) and would using them like this not offer much benefits where it would just be better to drop off whatever they have to drop off and then simply go be useful somewhere else?

How do your nations respond to major incidents, esp. those with a large number of fatalities?
I'll define 'major incident' as follows:A major incident can be defined as any emergency that requires the implementation of special arrangements by one or more of the Emergency Services, the [health service] or local Authority for:
- The initial treatment, rescue and transport of a large number of casualties.
- The involvement, either directly or indirectly, of large numbers of people.
- The handling of a large number of enquiries likely to be generated, both from the public and the news media, usually to the Police.
- The need for large scale combined resources of the emergency services.
- The mobilisation and organisation of the emergency services and supporting organisations, e.g. local authority, to cater for the threat of death, serious injury or homelessness to a large number of people.
And as an example incident...
A train carrying soldiers derails at speed and mounts a station platform which has civilians on it, resulting in multiple fatalities.

Assuming you would combine meritocracy with democracy, and seeing how there is no possible way to objectively define what constitutes administering a country well, I would say that it should logically result in selecting and promoting officials based on their actual ability to administer the country as the citizens want to, or in other words, on how closely they can apply the wish of the people in their actions and/or how closely they match the citizens' "ideal" ruler.
IMO relying solely on some form of "meritocracy" that democracy is not a part of is inherently flawed and authoritarian because as it has been pointed by others, there is no objectively correct way of defining merit and consequently no objectively correct way of classifying individuals based on it. The principle of democracy pretty much states that the closest you can get to finding this definition is asking the regular citizen, or rather, averaging their answers.

Coins with holes in them. The Ancient Chinese did it. The Native Americans did it. Thoughts on a modern country doing it?
I don't see any obvious problems with it, since fiat coins are just pieces of metal stamped with an arbitrary value. The only real arguments I can find against them are that the leaders in the coinage field adopted conventional coins and everyone else followed via institutional emulation, and that the hole makes it hard to fit faces and art in the usual places. But if it comes down to aesthetics, I don't see what stops a nationalist regime from reinstating square-hole coinage, especially if it's updating its inflated currency with a new series of coins in different denominations anyway.
That said, I've been proven completely wrong on topics I know nothing about before, and I don't want to painstakingly lineart a new series of square-hole coins only to learn afterward that "all vending machines designed after 2002 have a scanning procedure that can only work if the coin is a perfect circle" or whatever.
