Let's Play 'Guess the Country from their exports'

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Wikipedia has a thing, usually in the articles entitled 'economy of [insert country here]', where it displays in the form of multiple squares put together to make a big square the exports of each country (each square representing one export, the bigger the square the greater weight of the export proportionally). I'm wondering how many people here, without looking at the link, can figure out which country has which export square. I will start below



Any guesses?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

A landlocked saharan African county with a low population, but enough infrastructure to support a mining industry. Majority of the population are tribal or poor farmers living on less than a dollar a day and not part of the economy. Probably has a decent Berber population, thought that comes with the region.

Mauritania, Mali, and Niger (pronounced differently in French) all come to mind. I originally thought it might be sub-saharan, but such a country would have more diverse exports like tropical crops.

Australia has a beef industry (it's a country I think of when uranium exports is mentioned) and is way too developed to just have an export economy.

If I'm wrong it's probably some -stan former USSR country but I doubt it.

Niger, perhaps? I'm thinking of Colin Powell's speech at the UN.

It's clearly one of the least developed economies in the world - essentially no diversification; and the primary export is an unprocessed raw material.

I presume sub-Saharan African - indeed, I presume the Sahara is a factor, there's no sign of any agricultural exports.

I'm not sufficiently aware of major sources of radioactive elements to go any further.

Of the countries mentioned, Niger has the most uranium. So that's what my guess is - I change my answer from Central Asia as those countries are at least somewhat industrialised.

I think probably Niger or Chad.

Congrats everyone who said Niger that is the answer. Next round:

A few people called it.... It was Fiji

Yes, 'my dear home' is correct. And next time I'll take the money amount off

New Round:

It was briefly mentioned but no-one got it, the answer was Georgia.

New round:

[Tetro Kornbluth]

It's not Honduras

Nobody has said it yet so I'm just going to let this run.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Still nobody.
