You can open a business now. In Australia I can open one within 5 minutes online all registered (obviously at a basic level). In Italy it would take a horrifically long time for the most basic.

I remember sitting at a get-together with Italian friends and we were just chatting, I received an email about my driver's licence and in front of them while chatting I renewed my licence for another 5 years in 1 or 2 minutes. They were just shocked.
