which one will be the first third world region?

i think either brazil or mexico

Spain

>>56642765
Unova

>>56642765
We already got Unova

>>56642765
They already did that 21 years ago with Orre
>>
>>56642765
If they didn't waste waste the previous region on Spain without the S, it likely would've been Brazil. We'll likely have to wait another decade now though. Africa is off limits until we actually learn anything about their history and the Japanese hate most Asian countries that aren't China (even then they still hate China) so we won't see anywhere there until 2054 when the war happens and the Koreas merge again

So we're sticking with Euro regions until Italy, Germany, Russia and one of the Scandinavian countries (likely Sweden or Finland) are covered. We also might return to US and cover LA properly like they intended in the leaks

Personally I'd love to see how they'd do with Brazil, given the diversity of climates and biomes there are over there, while Mexico would be more aesthetically recognizable to an international audience. Maybe get a bit of the Andes for a colder, mountainous portion of the map?

Old, outdated classification system just like 1st/2nd/3rd worlds that has been memed into meaninglessness. Nowadays, it just means "country I don't like."
>>
>>56644433
As the other anon said, just like the UK, for the US the cities are the shitholes with 3rd world levels of crime and ridiculous inflation and cost of living.
The countryside of the US (And the UK on that note) is both affordable, significantly lower crime levels and gets to reap the benefits of a developed nation's infrastructure.

Its this weird catch 22 where all these original superpowers condensed and centralised a fuckton of power into their cities due to trade and production coming from them, because of their location in elation to the ocean and how they could receive shipped goods

They used that power to grow their economy in massive ways and establish themselves as the world's superpowers. And of course this wealth spread across the countryside (e.g. bumfuck nowhere in India has nothing, meanwhile bumfuck nowhere in the UK has 5G internet, power, clean water etc.)

But now the rest of the world has caught up, and these centralised cities like new york and london are dying of the self inflicted poisons of being a massive population centre in a comparatively small area, built for production rather than living.


China is following the exact same path, except they are behind countries like the US and Germany and haven't quite caught up yet, and have MASSIVE swathes of land that have not yet felt the benefits of the GDP generated by the major chinese cities. They may never, seeing as the CCP doesn't really seem to care kekw

The main problem with living in a rural area is that if you happen to need something that requires specialization, like if you end up catching some rare disease, you're kinda screwed (they have to pay doctors a lot to move to a hospital in a rural area because most are not willing to do that)
The weird thing is that all these urban professionals vote against their own self interest. Like, you'd expect these lawyers/doctors/silicon valley guys to be like "wow I have a pretty decent life and would like to not get stabbed by a crackhead, I should not vote to release criminals from prison early or enable entire tent cities full of druggies" but for some reason they value virtue signalling more than their own safety, and that's how you end up with cities like SF where the tech nerds get stabbed by crackheads or step on infected needles

They'd probably be in a similar place to India today, or maybe Brazil.

First of all, "blue cities" don't make me laugh. Every single city is blue. Republicans only win in nowhere counties with 8 people each and lean on the electoral college to win them races.
Secondly, you realize that this graph has 0% in the middle, not at the bottom? So aside from one little spike, it actually dropped significantly after that, and the rest of the time is mostly below average?
Third, this is just homicide, not crime, which is what we were talking about.

I’m fine with us being in that position. Most people and places don’t know much about us or care enough to learn and only care when something controversial happens and/or is a slow news week (E.g. Australia on fire again when the Americas are starting to get it just as bad as we are).

>>56642765
Brazil, Italy, or the U.S. again
They technically did the U.S. twice already (NYC and Hawaii)
They won't do a spanish-speaking latinx country seeing as they just did spain, therefore Brazil is the only place in LatAm on the table. The Amazon rainforest is a unique geographical feature to base the region around, and while there are jungles in other countries such as Southeast Asia, the Amazon is the most iconic.
China or Russia could be fun regions but it might be safer to avoid due to politics. Maybe Gen 11 or 12, but unlikely next.
Italy is the most likely unused European country left. They've exhausted the rest of Western Europe. Germany and Scandis are too boring. Eastern Europe sans Russia is similarly boring. So the only European countries you really have left are Italy(+Greece?) and Russia. I don't think they would ever do anything from the Arab world or Indian subcontinent. Southeast Asia is possible but harder to justify when you already have Hawaii, Brazil, Hoenn, etc.

The extent of Japanese racism is heavily overstated on this website because /pol/ likes to idolize Japan as their based model ethnostate but in reality it's mostly confined to the older generations, the youth are very progressive and they all listen to K-pop and watch K-dramas.

Only strictly in terms of total economic output, and even then they lag the US economy by about 40%. They have a handful of developed cities along the coast and some decently-developed ones in the interior, the rest of the country is shockingly poor by developed standards.
>>
>>56655250
Going by their economy is stupid because it would mean no country on earth is "developed". China is just poor as shit because they have corrupt authoritarianism leadership that sucks up all the money for themselves, and refuses to develop the western half of the country that is technologically 300 years behind the rest of the world.

Calling them "large" is reaching.
None of the settlements mentioned in the pics above had more than 5,000 inhabitants in the late 19th century.
Even Timbuktu, the largest and most architecturally impressive city in the region, counted a mere 4,000 inhabitants in 1894.

>with division of labour
They didn't have this, that's precisely why they never evolved past primitive huts.
Each individual had to build and maintain his own hut by himself, which took a great amount of time that couldn't be put in developing other activities.

>They had iron
Which they didn't use as construction material in any way.
Archicture-wise, they remained neolithic.

Considering Spain a first world country is quite a stretch.

I think geographically Argentina has more material to be a region. More than Spain at least.

But I think Greece or Italy are a good guess for Gen 10

Holy cope... We are reaching levels of "d-doesn't count!!" that shouldn't be possible...

Villages of primitive huts are never "cities" and no amount of copium will change this fact.
Late 19th century Subsahran Africa had no cities and was extremely backward, both when compared to the rest of the world (Europe, Asia, the Americas...) in the same era and when compared to Subsahran Africa in the 1960s, after 80 years of European rule.
This is fact, anything else is cope.

Keep coping. "D-doesn't count unless it's THESE materials a-and THIS headcount and uhh uhhhh.... a-and THOSE technologies!!"
Your narrow and ad hoc definition of a city would leave out Machu Pichu, Gobekli Tepe, Memphis, and even ancient London. Educate yourself before you speak, everyone else can see you're just reaching to justify a bias.

I have a coworker like that whom I'm teaching right now. He's quite insecure and is trying to outman everyone and makes disrespectful remarks and I don't know if he's acting retarded on purposes to try to be funny or if he's being genuinely retarded. HELP, what can I do? I really don't know how to deal with someone like that. It's like the only winning move is not to play.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Vietnam/Malaysia/SEA country mix, or Egypt. Or China.
