[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 469113, member: 38640"] I don't know about that. There are plenty of reasons why "Black" nations are often low on the list. 1. Collinization - Almost all of Africa and indeed Haiti was collinized by either the British, French or Dutch all of whom had some of the largest empires at the time. Many of the attitudes of the nations colonizing were often racist/supremist and did not look to build the nations as a stable and self-sustaining country, but rather as a means of economic produce. Because of this, when empires started withdrawing from many of their colonies, there has been long standing political instablility and corruption. It seems this is also true in other countries outside Africa. You only have to look at some parts of Eastern Europe and Middle Eastern Asia for it to be apparent this is not a racial issue. 2. Resources - Other than oil in parts of Northern Africa and obviously the diamond trade in Southern Africa, natural resources are not generally as available. Other countries with the same problems find a way around this by creating industries which are reliant on being a part of a larger union such as Switzerland, however there isn't really many stable governments in Africa for solid trade relationships to exist and not the natural resources for the countries to flourish without the industries.
