Although I think population density is a lot more important than population. Like population really doesn’t effect how life is but if you’re living in a place with high population density then you’re gonna own less space, if you combine a high population density with poverty you’re going to have a bad quality of life. I don’t think land really effects it but population density which is a combination of the two probably is a bit more important than the two combined. I also disagree about the way he did population, yes having a smaller population means you’re less of an economic powerhouse, but surely most people would rather live in Canada (arround 5 million ppl) than China or India. edit: I just read this a year later and dont know tf I was on about.

I'm from Belize and its sad to see my country so many times there the only thing I have to say is that it is nice to have your neighbors far away but yeah our GDP is low mainly because of corruption. btw we do speak English here in central America.

GDP per capita isn’t a useful index. Equatorial Guinea has the highest GDP per capita in Africa, but due to extreme corruption and other issues it is still one of the poorest countries in the world, and GDP per capita also DOES NOT mean a wage or salary or net worth, it is literally just GDP divided by total population. Not a very helpful measurement if you ask me

@@xSRGman Of course it's not. I actually meant something more similar to national wealth per capita because it's way way more accurate than national wealth. Obviously it's way better to live in Monaco than India, despite the national wealth of India is ridiculously higher than Monaco's

@@xSRGman Still more useful than GDP alone. Plus it tells you pretty much all the basics on wealth and wealth distribution if you combine it with a measure of inequality.

A better index would be average wage of lowest 20% or 10%. A country is good if its poorest people are treated well.

@@somethung8188 Being poor on its own and small area on its own don’t have to be that bad. But if you combined those two together it’s worse then just those separated categories. Because if you are rich, you have options to move out and travel the world, so your small area for you doesn’t matter. But if you are poor, your options to travel are limited. Even by fact, that other countries don’t want you. So you might get denied access. So if you are poor, would you rather be in big country where you can move around (going on walk in nature is free), than living in some ghetto full of people. If Singapore looked like Gaza strip, you would also wanted it bigger to get out of ghetto for a while.

@@stafer3 Although I agree to an extent, I don't think size weighs that heavily simply because some bigger countries are absolutely AWFUL to live in. Take South Sudan, Yemen and Somalia for example. To me these are the absolute worst countries ( to live in ) and all are pretty big. In these scenarios, the situations are so fucked up that the size of the country doesn't even matter. Also, India is a huge country and yes it's popular and is very politically strong but is not a good place to live in at all despite its very rich and diverse culture and history

@@somethung8188 I think size may be a better measure of potential than anything else. Small countries really have to play their cards perfectly (like Singapore) to do well. Otherwise they’re basically hanging onto the coattails of their neighbors and hoping for the best (most European microstates).

Nor is the population rating

Yemen made my list at #2. I put North Korea ahead of it, and Somalia at #3. CAR or South Sudan may deserve to be number 2. They can't beat NK because at least you can flee South Sudan and CAR.

Yeah, overall the continent is poor, but people act like all of Africa is this muddy shithole, when in reality, the big cities have booming economies and strong political influence. Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Pretoria, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Tunis, Rabat, and Algiers are all very wealthy cities that are safe to travel to. Obviously there’s gonna be slums, with the amount of people packed into a continent with such a harsh landscape, it was never going to end well.

sure, but exactly how bad ddepends on where you are. deir ez zour is a significantly worse place to live than the rest of the country because it was under seige for years and bombed to shit, while many areas never really saw intense fighting. ant the war is nearly over now. meanwhile, there are places like yemen where their entire country is blockaded from the est of the world and being attacked by a significantly stronger country with no end to the war in sight.

@@cageybee7221 Yup, in some places it’s really bad, but in most places in Syria is very safe. In fact, I would argue that it’s safer than some places in the United States because there is not much non-war-related violence. In fact, I think a lot of Syrians are happy because of the one thing Syria has that the West doesn’t: strong family connections. In the West, the family has broken down. Western society is all about work, sex, and short-term pleasure, leaving no room for family and leaving people empty inside. In Syria, your family is your support and that support is stronger than any social net in the richest welfare state.

@@michaelibrahim9275 Oh shut up. Syria is an active warzone and it's better because they love their families more, apparently? It couldn't be that extreme situations would naturally drive families closer together because they offer support freely. That in places where there isn't a war raging familial bonds are a little bit looser because people naturally seek freedom from the expectations and responsibilities of family when they feel secure because they don't have an ACTIVE WAR HAPPENING IN THEIR COUNTRY.

@@Toastybees What I’m saying is about the parts of Syria that AREN’T an active war zone which is the vast majority of the country. The parts that are currently still at war are a small sparsely populated pocket in south eastern Syria, and Northern Syria. 90% of Syrians currently live in an area where the war has passed already. My heart goes out to all those people in the war torn areas and the people in Aleppo, for whom the war is over but the long reconstruction has just begun. Those people are indeed suffering, but notice how I said SOME Syrians. I am not downplaying the suffering of the people caught in the war, but I’m just saying that I feel like when you don’t consider the war, the Syrian people and culture lead to a less depressing lifestyle

agree that people can find happines and live peaceful lives without the new luxuries and facilities which globalization has brought forth, though unfortunately bad traditions are still followed more in those parts such as untouchability, infanticide based on sex, caste system, and exploitation and social exclusion of the poorer and the lower castes(such as Shudras).

Blaming colonialism is a useless truth. I would argue that the vast majority of the issues in African nations were caused, either directly or indirectly, by colonialism, but that doesn't solve anything. Blaming colonialism is about as useful as blaming aliens in terms of actually solving the issues.

Look at Zimbabwe

i should probably say why. Zimbabwe was one of the last colonial possessions that was given independence. Almost immediately after gaining independence, it started "decolonisation" and replaced all of the white farmers with Zimbabwean people. However, most people didn't know how to farm or wanted to farm, thus leading to the country only making 10% of what it used to. This also lead to hyperinflation

It's called Austerity now

That’s not true at all. It’s not colonization that was the issue. It was crap countries like Spain and France colonizing them. British former colonies for the most part are very good countries, but most of what the other countries left behind are terrible countries. It has to do with the colonizer
