Normally places that are the cities are better developed and near the ports and so that is where the businesses set up camp which produece the wealthy few and they in turn create a more modern looking environment. The other areas are remote or for farming purposes, normally. As I recall from history books China was pretty advanced in the pre-pioneering days, they traded with England and sold them tea, silk, noodles, spieces, and so forth, and that is why the Mayflower was seekng a short cut to the far east. In other words England, Spain, and France did not modernize the world with their colonialism. India was also once a very advanced nation in their prime time long before England forced them into submission.

So lets look at all the places where colonialism were established and you tell me which ones can report excellent health conditions of lack of poverty.

Costa Rica.
Mexico.
Panama.
South Africa.
Veit Nam
India
Irag
Most of South America
New Zealand
Ireland
Washington D.C.
Canada
