There are more than 200 countries and regions on the planet, some rich and some poor.
Among them, in addition to the human factor, it is also related to the geographical location of each country.
Some countries are geographically advantaged and can be very rich with a little effort, while others are difficult to develop even in peacetime without too many human factors.
What we want to take stock of today is 10 countries with very good geographical conditions, which are mainly summarized from many aspects:
1. The lifeblood of the world economy: Panama, Singapore, Egypt, Turkey
The advent of superimposed airplanes in the Age of Discovery has completely turned the earth into a "big village" that can communicate with each other.
Among them, the maritime economy has become an important part of the economic rise of countries around the world.
And the countries that hold a few major "hubs" of maritime transport have become the countries with the best geographical location.
Panama
Panama guards the "Panama Canal", which is located between South and North America, and there is no other shipping route other than the "Panama Canal" that can support large ships to cross North and South America.
Without the Panama Canal, ships would have to go all the way south to the southernmost part of South America to bypass the whole of North and South America.
This unique condition allows Panama to almost "lie down and make money", and as long as the canal is there, Panama has a stable source of income.
Singapore
By the same token, Singapore's location is right at the entrance and exit of the Strait of Malacca, and if Singapore is unhappy, all merchant ships will be in trouble.
The Strait of Malacca is almost equivalent to a "maritime lifeline" for East Asian countries, which is very, very critical.
Therefore, East Asian countries and many commercial countries have maintained a relatively friendly attitude towards Singapore.
Egypt
Egypt's Suez Canal is a key waterway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.
The Suez Canal was a waterway that had to be used to trade by sea between Europe and Asia, and it was controlled by Egypt.
So with this advantage, Egypt is already one of the countries with the best geographical location in the world.
Turkey
How good is Turkey's location?
Land, Turkey is an important corridor connecting Europe and Asia.
On the sea, the Turkish Straits are a key link to the Black Sea and other seas.
2. Regional "leaders": Russia, China, Australia, India, the United States, Brazil
Compared with the above four countries that "came into being" by relying on the world economic model, the next six countries are really geographically advantageous and natural "dragons".
Russia
Straddling the Eurasian continent, Russia is rich in natural resources.
Such a superior geography determines that Russia's strategic depth is very deep, and its abundant natural resources determine one of Russia's greatest advantages: it has almost everything that other countries want.
Therefore, Russia has never been afraid of war, and even if it loses in the early stage, Russia can rely on great depth to recuperate and counterattack.
Even if it is sanctioned, Russia only needs to increase the export of its own resources, and there will be a steady stream of funds coming in, and there will be no worries about buyers at all.
This means that Russia can keep its eyes on Europe and stick out its fangs at any time. Without American containment, it is difficult to imagine what Russia would be like now.
China
Mountains and rivers, desert forests, plains and hills, China has almost all the climates and environments in the world, and also has a very long coastline.
In the surrounding areas, except for Russia in the north, the rest are "small countries" with a small land area, which makes China a natural core country in East Asia and even Southeast Asia.
Australia
A country is a continent, and Australia's unique geographical advantage means that it has no enemies on land.
The abundant mineral resources on Australian land have become an inexhaustible wealth for Australians.
Australians can live very comfortably by selling mineral resources, and their remote location makes it rarely involved in war.
India
For India, the happiest thing should be to "sit" on the entire Indian Ocean.
The ultra-long coastline on both sides has brought rich marine resources to India, which is enough to surpass more than 90% of the world's countries.
It is for this reason that India has given birth to a population of more than 1.4 billion people.
But India is not yet worried about population growth, as they have a large amount of arable land that can be used for crop production.
United States
Geographically, the United States and India are somewhat similar, both of which have extremely long coastlines and enjoy abundant marine resources, while at the same time bordering a large country to the north.
The United States, like India, has a large amount of arable land.
On top of that, because it has only two neighbors (Canada and Mexico) and is far from the more densely populated continent of Eurasia, the United States has rarely been affected by war for hundreds of years.
Brazil
As the largest country in South America, Brazil can be said to occupy the best land in South America, and once Brazil's economy rises, it will inevitably become a regional leader in South America.
