How does a dictatorship have such a high GDP per capita????? Is it like a fascist one? Synthic 13:35, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

I'm wondering how a collection of countries with GDP's of no more than $80 billion each, some as low as $1 billion in a matter of 11 years become a national equivalent of the modern U.S. with everyone owning solar powered cell phones. Ham Ham Time (User/Talk/World/WAT) 14:50, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

Its a kind of magic, magic, magiiiiic ... (Queen, 1986)

More than this... I recomend you (the author) to have a look to other nations before choosing territories becouse you are using Togo, that is part of DDR in FW and you are using Guinea, whose northern part (Boké region) is part of Euskadi in FW. Please, have a look to National Info of Future World where you can see a map. --BIPU 17:37, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

A dictatorship being poor is a sterotype. The Soviet Union (dictatorship), had the second highest GDP in the world up until 1991. Nazi Germany had a relatively high GDP up until WWII. Zimbabwe up until the mid-90s had a currency that was the equal to the U.S. dollar. Syria and Lybia? Both are very wealthy countries that were controlled (in the latter's case), dictator's. As for the GDP of the country, I'm very aware of the economic issue. Since this is an alternate universe, I decided I'd pretend that the leaders there had half a brain, and didn't screw up the economics. My hope was that after the Cold War kinda went backwards, that West Africa was spared the civil wars pretty much induced by the U.S. and the Soviet Union. So yeah, this kinda is magic. :)

Plus, I'm also counting on a few other things. First is foreign investment, much like Nigeria, Mandinka was easier to deal with than a corrupt state with rotating leaders, if you know what I mean. Second, political stability, allowed the region to develop without the civil wars that basically ruined the economies of the constitute nations (such as the civil war in Liberia). And third, the locals themselves, who let didn't let petty issues such as race and religion divid them in the progress they begged for years too have.

And thanks for the map. Been looking for that thing. --"Truth fears no questions..." 18:46, April 20, 2012 (UTC)
