Is your nation considered a s-hole?

Postby Har Lany Altiis » Thu Jan 18, 2018 10:28 pm

Our nation is often considered one, partly because of its poor economy, but mostly because of its tyrant leader.

Tribal protectorates and reserves are often considered pseudo-shitholes. These polities have average GDPPC of around $16,000, approximately one-sixth of nationwide GDPPC, high crime rate, high inequality due to rampant corruption among tribal leadership, and universally mediocre living standard. "Lawless" territories ruled by sovereign warlords are even more impoverished and perhaps the closest equivalent to "shitholes" within Darussalam.

The rural Outer Provinces are significantly less developed than the Corridors, but they are hardly shitholes.

The core urban agglomerations of Darussalam, the Western and Eastern Corridor, meanwhile, are anything but shitholes - they have one of the highest living standard in the region, with open and developed economy as well as highly advanced infrastructure.

We are pretty well off, in turns of statistics and wealth, all that good stuff.

However, since we are a Latino (sort of, it's a long story) nation, President Trump would prolly call us a sh*thole.

Technically Zhouran is a fully-industrialized, wealthy nation with a very-high level of human development. However, considering the fact that us Zhouranese are self-deprecating, ironic, and sometimes cynical, we ironically like to call our nation a "sh*thole" mainly to dissuade foreigners from visiting us and avoiding any unwanted foreign attention.

No, we are a highly developed country with a modern standard of living. But the city of Commodore is. Homeless addicts wander around mugging people, street gangs control entire neighborhoods, the economy is in permanent recession. And the city government is always on the edge of bankruptcy.

It's meant to be one despite being more scientifically, technologically, and culturally "advanced" than the early 21st century. This is also true for much of the contemporary world though, and whether or not our people consider Nouveau Yathrib to be a s***hole depends a great deal on their position in society, level of patriotism, moral/ethical consciousness, and what criteria they use.

Some would call our nation a sh*thole, as we are considered to be a second world nation. Our economy is developing, our people are getting wealthier and their standards of living are excellent, however. Due to this, the only major nation calling us a sh*thole is the USA.

We're an ally of the West, a wealthy Persian First World nation in the Middle East, and a politically and domestically stable one. There's no reason for Trump to call us a s***hole except for the occasional Arab terrorist stereotypes or travel ban jokes, I guess.

After the 1979 Revolution that saw the fall of the Shah, Persagonia has re-emerged itself from the ashes of Iran. Persagonia has proven herself to be the dominant secular and democratic power in the Middle East, both politically and economically.
