No.2174
>>2171They've tried to force urbanization in both, in fact forcing the latter country to try to do stuff never turns out well
No.2175
Are the biggest problem in these countries really their populations. Surely you can point to something other than the bottom of the barrel takes.

>>2173You can have it both ways if you just force them to have children, thats the way the wind is blowing in China...
No.2177
>>2173That's partially true but not the whole story, it's also related to expected standard of living and housing availability.
But in all cases developing the country in general would cause it.

>>2175Afghanistan no but Niger it's up there. Multiple governments have tried imposing family limits to no avail
No.2179
Nigerien hausa girls are pretty for West Africa, no wonder they have such large families
No.2180
>>2175>takesI keep waiting for this term to go away as "narrative" and "cognizcant" did. "literally", and "beyond me" are also way overused and need to go
No.2181
>>2180cognizant* yes I know
No.2182
>>2178Then the problem is a lack of government authority in controlling local beliefs and establishing a system that everyone agrees with. Sounds more and more like this is a problem of the colonial powers drawing arbitrary lines and expecting the new country's to sort out harsh cultural differences.
>>2180poor take
No.2184
>>2182Whenever you ask pan-africanists to draw up borders they always come up with a bunch of microstates that look like Andy's alt history maps. It wouldn't solve anything and would likely set them back even further.
No.2186
>>2185Also, I dont know whether this is sad or funny but a country that rose from a seperatist movement (eritrea) now has an active one of their own

No.2188
>>2180>literallyIt's just one of the bajillion cases where a word with that meaning is retooled as an intensifier.
I find it
really weird that people don't realize this. In
fact, it's a very veryfiable cross-linguistic phenomenon,
truly basic stuff.
Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with beyond me, and narrative is alive and well.
No.2189
>>2188Its annoyance at overuse is all.
No.2190
>>2189That's understandable.
No.2191
>>2185>>2186There is also a seperatist movement seeking to re-establish a colonial state.

>>2182There is no good way to draw the borders. These places were a hodge podge of different people that constantly fought each other even before Europeans arrived.
No.2193
The kingdom of Iraq and the Ottoman empire are templates on how you deal with nomadic tribes as part of a nation collecting tribute
No.2194
>>2193Not really as they struggled to do it and had very little power over them. That's why the Ottomans stagnated like they did. They lacked the central authority to make these tribes and other ethnic groups actually do what they wanted them to do.

Kc thread
No.2199
I adhere to the policy of self-determination. Nullify the current borders, promise not to interfere in whatever process they come up with for deciding borders, then let them go nuts. That should fix the border problem and the overpopulation problem in one fell swoop.
