I could of course list many more countries where PR produces weak and ineffective governments, but you already know about them, but are choosing to ignore them.
Near bankruptcy?Not really....

also,the East is behind the West in some parts,most of Eastern Germany however is thoroughly modernised,and in many instances in better shape than the West!
And yes,PR may cripple the country,Germany seems to be constantly squabbling about one thing or the other.
