Why are these countries so FAT? They have no business being as big as they are. All anyone knows about Kazakhstan is that they export potassium and we only know that because Borat, and they detained a woman with a New Zealand passport because they thought New Zealand was a state of Australia. As for Algeria I know nothing about it. Was that tranny/not tranny boxer from there? I don't know.
>>220327052Can't speak for Kazakhstan but for what is now the Algerian sahara it was never fully under any sort of proper centralised state authority before the French but rather numerous tribal confederations both sedentary in the oases and nomadic throughout the desert. All the precursor states to modern Algeria (Numidia, Zayyanids/Tlemcen, Hafsids, Regency) covered the mediterranean coast and high plains and maybe sometimes certain northern oases but never the deep sahara. Even under the French the Sahara was under a different administrative category, it was a military colony focused on resource extraction while the north was integrated as a part of metropolitan France. An initial proposal for peace by france during the revolution was for algeria to have the north but they kept the south which was refused.Keeping the sahara was during the independence struggle because it provided the basis for economic sovereignty with all the resources and so on which is why Algeria is so massive now. The alternative is spreading your cheeks for the west like Morocco does so good going.
Until 1962, France was the 8th largest country in the world after India.

Someone called me from Kazakhstan once. I was intrigued and had to answer the phone. The guy was so nice he let me know I was being scammed. Indians never gave me this courtesy.
