Eastern half of Bolivia is a flat level fertile plain, and if not for the lack of water in the Gran Chaco, it would be agriculturally very very productive.

It's sad, but at least we've made considerable progress. Before World War II, invasions were routine almost everywhere. Almost every line on the map was drawn in blood, and some were redrawn multiple times. After World War II there have still been wars, but the so-called "rules based order" is based on nations having sovereign territory and no nation having the right to unilaterally violate another nation's territory by force. This is why Russia's invasion of Ukraine is seen as so egregious - Russia is challenging the rules-based order, which has been the organizing principle of international law for almost 80 years. If Russia succeeds, the rules-based order might collapse, and we could back to the bad old days of nations routinely invading their neighbors to grab more territory and resources. The rules-based order might hold, but we have another problem which could turn out to be worse than invasions: man-made climate change. It's possible to defend your country against invasion, but there is no defense against carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is well-mixed, so everybody's fossil carbon emissions distribute to everybody else. And as the polar ice caps melt, the sea level rises for everybody with a coastline. Coastal nations might be able to protect some of their cities with seawalls and levees, but that won't be practical for most low-lying areas of land.

They could invest in start ups that develop tecnology to win land like the netherlands did.

Actually They have done a great job controlling population growth and it’s now per replacement level.. And about land reclamation or preventing erosion, government' s been working with The Netherlands on "The delta plan 2021"

@@Tushar-ou7ju that's great, maybe new technologies will come up that will help other countries with erosion and sea level rising problems.

Bangladesh's only pressing problem is overpopulation. Right now the population stands about 165 million which is too much for an area just the size of New York State. If the population were kept below 50 million, it would have become another Netherlands because it is located in the most fertile area of the world and large coastal area for deep water port. But the population is just too many and it puts tremendous stress on the country's resources. Although water is plenty, land is scarce due to housing and farming, leaving little for industrialization. However, Bangadesh's economy is growing at a rapid rate. They should take the East Asian countries economic route by becoming hub for manufacturing since labour is still cheap. The government should invest in a technology that could use less land for farming but yields similar result. Then the former farming land could be used for setting up factories that employs these former agricultural workers. This would increase their income and the overall being of Bangladeshis.

Bangladesh's population has actually remained stagnant for 20 years (At 160 Million), after a lot of measures to control population were taken in the 90s.
