      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.

      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.

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.

In these scenarios, the situations are so fucked up that the size of the country doesn't even matter.

    Having travelled through some the villages of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh by car, it's fascinating to see how objectively "cash poor" areas can thrive and work. Passing through one village that was effectively a bunch of longhouses with a water butt at the top of the hill, I was amazed at how little suffering I saw. Only a passing observation, but people were just going about living as a community without the trappings we see in many other places. I saw much worse things in big cities where you'd catch the familiar MacDonalds and Subways had sprung up. Not sure I can draw any safe conclusions from this but I found it interesting how communities can seemingly thrive off the grid of globalization.

Comoros failing is in many ways it's own fault. Seychelles, the Maldives, and Mauritius are all in the similar situations to Comoros. They are all small, located in the Indian Ocean, have colonial histories, have small populations, have few natural resources, and are made up of many islands. However, Mauritius, the Maldives, and the Seychelles were able to make themselves tourist hotspots, which is a major source of income in all three of the countries.

    It's extremely noteworthy that Mayotte has the exact same drawbacks as Comoros, and yet, Mayotte is successful and Comoros is not.
    You can't say price fluctuations are to blame and just saying that 'coups don't help.'
    Had the Comoros remained under France, it would be far wealthier.

    Why would you use population and area to see what countries are the worst? It doesn't make any sense. The arguments you use for that are simply not important.
    By the way, national wealth per capita is a better metric than national wealth. And, of course, not to mention gross national happiness.

    Using the same methodology to find the best countries in the world (i.e. take the _highest_ 50 on each of the same rankings, and finding which countries make all four lists), we end up with four countries: Canada, China, France, and the U.S.
