progress indicator   • Oct 9 2012: I don't think there is an
effective relation between the size of a country and its
development. There are many advantages and disadvantages to
being a big country and they seem to more or less cancel each
other out in the real world.     • thumb       Oct 9 2012: what
is the real motivite of development       • Oct 9 2012: National
unity, natural resources, effective government, economic and
social equality, modernity, having friendly neighbors and/or
having natural borders (rivers, mountain ridges, deserts).
• thumb         Oct 11 2012: Education and economic stability
are pretty big factors.          Social conflicts can also
escalate change/revolution.
