In light of recent events, lets make a list of trustworthy manufacturers of guitar strings. Bonus points if they are from a full democracy according to the Economists democracy index. I'll start with:
-Ibanez (Japan)
-Rotosound (UK)

TIL that Italy is a "flawed democracy". I have Aquila strings on most of my acoustic instruments. Their synthetic gut strings are as close to the real thing as it can get, and they are quite affordable. The caveat is that "New Nylgut" strings are literally unplayable for about the first three days.
