You're making less sense with every post. You said to look at countries by living standards vs climate zones and somehow that meant that those countries have higher industrial potential. Now you tell me that the real issue isn't industrial potential, but rather the specific nature of what they produce.......

EDIT: And I'm still waiting for a reply on the simple fact that by forcing oligarchs to invest you are subsidizing the economy, instead of genuinely diversifying. Thus your economic base is still resource export.
