The geographical and topographical variations may also explain some differences.
Countries dominated by hard forced nature such as mountains, deserts and jungles, are in isolated locations
or are sparsely populated should have fewer opportunities than countries that are flat, with plenty of coast or
navigable rivers, and with short distances between people (see the History of Technology). Which is evident
since the most disadvantaged countries, in many of the listed aspects, have slightly lower values than the
favored ones (table 6 + 7).
Table 6. Topography and geography 22 vs. economic data. Easy Forced and flat terrain, plenty of navigable waters for
transportation and close to the people, = green, worse condition in any aspect = yellow, worse condition from several
aspects = red.

The population in mid-2010 divided by land area (measured in square kilometers), according www.globalis.se.

The geographical and topographical conditions are estimated using the atlas: Nordstedts world atlas (Nordstedts,
Stockholm, 2011), in some cases combined with considerations of population size and earthquake risk.
