#+title: The Last Industrial Country

Egypt has been trying to join the Global North since 1805

Egypt is the most recent country to join the Newly Industrialised Countries, merging with China, India, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa, the G8 to form G14.

Egypt enters its demographic window of opportunity 2030-2050

An industrialised Egypt needs to be 7-12 million people to be sustainable, but Egypt will peak at 121 million. The difference and climate change is fuel for social change. Climate change will kick in 2040 and it will be impossible for any other country to industrialise

In the end, however, of all the industrialised countries, Russia, UK, Canada and Northern Europe will be competitive, because of their position near the Arctic

To Lobna: Remember when I said that the developed countries will not benefit from web activism, and so the poor countries? I had a few countries in mind, and they are all NICs except Egypt and Iran
