How does Tunisia compare with say Alabama or Mississippi? edit: looks like my question hit a nerve with some people?

  Better! Life expectancy at birth (in years): Alabama: 75.1 Mississippi: 74.6 Tunisia: 76.7

  My experience of living in the south after growing up elsewhere was absolutely a feeling of being sidelined from the full opportunity previously known to me. Its a bit like being in a hole. Everything is cheaper, including wages. Meaning its harder to leave than to enter.

    I think the bigger problem is people just not taking you or natives there seriously. I could write a book on all the shenanigans faculty try to pull on people who they think haven't been to "real" R1 universities elsewhere, for example, and think they can get away with. NB: I live in Louisiana and my brother works for an international NGO but had based himself in Tunisia. He was supposed to fly back there Monday but delayed his flight a week. My friend was supposed to visit Yassine Ayari and she ended up arriving at his house right after he was arrested.

  The poorest parts of those states are paradise in comparison to Kairouan or Kasserine, not to mention Tunisia in general. The point you are trying to make is obvious but it's a facile point. It's too bad people here get so butthurt about acknowledging that wow a really rich nation like the US is a really nice place to live compared to a country like Tunisia. Are we so PC that obvious reality is going to be debated? Good god.
