Ignoring AgriFood production to sustain human biomass, the richest regions throughout history were roughly:
Bronze age: Mesopotamia
Antiquity: Rome
Late Antiquity: Persia

President Bukele won the election in El Salvador by a whopping 87% tonight.
Homicides fell by over 92% under his administration so far.

Up until recently, El Salvador suffered from the highest homicide rate on earth. Now El Salvador is the safest place in the western hemisphere.
Turns out, jailing criminals is incredibly effective and also mighty popular.
Quite the stat. "Britain now has the highest number of recorded chemical attacks in the world --mostly on women-- with a total of 710 in 2022 compared with 421 in 2021"

If it ever became easy for Brits to emigrate to the US, our skilled labour market would violently implode. Few graduates would resist the offer of “3x the salary for the same job - apply now and get a free assault rifle!”
