Which country in red is the closest to becoming first world?
>>
>>222206373
Tunisia?
>>
>>222206373
Tunisia because theyre all gay already
>>
>>222206385
>>222206391
LOL
>>
Why did you leave out Iran? Because it's them.
>>
>>222206399
you answered your own question
>>
>>222206373
algeria, highest hdi in the region and tied for fastest growth rate with egypt and morocco
problem is egypt is growing fast but has severe structural issues and is on borrowed time, there's no way it's not crashing eventually, best cast scenario it's a managed crash with a lost decade afterwards a la japan
morcco is growing fast but has a lot of catching up to do, severe lack of development outside major cities which is why their hdi always sucks, despite that I'd put them second on the list, mostly if we stumble for like a decade and they pull ahead
tunisia has been completely stagnant for 15 years with no change in sight, aging population, massive exodus of young people, people who rate them out themselves as knowing nothing about the region
countries in the levant will never become developed, region is too unstable and fucked for that
>>
none, muslims can't be first world unless they have massive immigration from superior christians
>>
>>222206373
To be first world you need at bare minimum
>to be able to use debt to grow the economy
>have the state have a monopoly on force
>have poltical parties have policy not be an interest group of a clan/faction
>not be polygamous
>not systematically inbreed
>allow decision making not soley based on seniority
The entire society would need to fundementally change to not be so inherently self-destructive
>>
>>222206543
also i don't mean first world, that's ridiculous and probably never happen
rather just some low tier second world status, kind of like turkey
>>
>>222206373
>becoming
i live in the red and we're already first world, far better than canadia
>>
>>222206543
your southern parts have warnings about terrorism and smuggling, also
>french


i would say Jordan is close second behind israel, with syria having massive potential in the coming decades
>>
>>222206694
>>222206652
I didn't put israel in red
>>
>>222206694
travel warnings are conservative, also just a reality of having unstable neighbour's, good thing nobody lives there i suppose
>jordan
heavily endebted country at the mercy of US aid and israeli water and energy, in a completely unstable neighborhood, I don't see it, it's cute and peaceful but won't go anywhere, similar to tunisia
>israel
not mentioned in the map and arguably already first by a generous definition
>syria
every country has potential so i don't see what makes them special, in their case they're just starting from waaaaaay behind and have to not fuck up which is very easy to do in their situation, wouldn't bet on it
>>
>>222206777
you did
>>
>>222206777
The whole WORLD is Israeli clay

>>222206800
Yes , my master
>>
>>222206399
>>222206447
maybe because they are not arab?

Id say the weirder thing is exclusion of saudi and stuff.
>>
>>222206399
Have you ever been to Iran or are you saying this because they are muh aryan?
>>
>>222206875
Ive been to Iran in my dreams and besides the women with massive tits and clowns everywhere theyre the whitest country ive ever seen through astral projection
>>
>>222206794
ive looked at your population density and youre right, surprisingly no one lives in the desert

how can i invest/live/work in algeria then, i liked morocco when i was there, so its not completely alien to me
>>
>>222206373
Algeria.

>highest GDP in the area
>very powerful military
>basically no national debt
>energy chad
>standard of living is rising
>geopolitically neutral, has no need with the US or China or Russia

There's a reason it's the regional hegemon.
>>
>>222206875
The entire reason for Israel's- I mean, America's war with Iran was to destabilize the Iranian state and prevent it from ever becoming a major power player in the middle eastern oil markets. It's never been about "liberating" the Iranians from their corrupt government. If that was the case we'd be liberating corrupt governments all around the world. It's just like Iraq and Venezuela: they have oil and we want to make sure that oil doesn't end up in the wrong hands (in other words, being sold at a competitive rate and undercutting the Saudis), so we bomb them under the guise of it being some sort of just humanitarian mission.
So yes, Iran would absolutely be the first nation to become a true first world country if it weren't for the US meddling on the behalf of our owners.
>>
>>222206543
I was about to say you're tooting your own horn but you made a convincing argument
>>222206373
Algeria is the future of north africa
