I've been thinking a lot about the maximum potential of each strategy and how gov't type can effect that recently. I thought it would be interesting to look at the all-time NW records for each gov't type and strategy to help put things into perspective. I gathered this data by including the top 10 from every set 8 to current. (Yes, this overview is somewhat inaccurate due to the fact that a lot of people switch to H to jump. However, I'm hoping that others can point out any countries with higher NWs that these that played a different gov't type and then jumped as an H for the record.) I'll update this list as new information becomes available and new records are set.

All-time NW records by gov't type:
