Geez look at the African Countries....

Europe and Asia are atleast split between positive and negative

The funny thing is they have plenty of natural resources!

Why are they that fvcked?

 

[cHeeZeFacTory]

so the asians try to save every penny, and the Caucasians spend everything and max out their credit cards

Hong Kong is a country? i thought they're part of china
