- Mordisquitos 5y agoPlus another counterexample from the opposite side: Andorra hasn't changed its borders since 1278, but only became reasonably rich in the second half of the 20th century.
- Glavnokoman 5y agoIt is like 3 times less wealthy per capita compared to Switzerland. So this is rather a co-example.
- julienreszka 5y agoGermany is 10 times the population of Switzerland
- Glavnokoman 5y agoAnd? Is India a rich country?
- julienreszka 5y agoThat's exactly my point. It's very difficult to scale wealth. Still Germany is very wealthy for it's size.
