![]() ![]() "The problem is that, from now on, with the rapid aging of the population, Brazil will have great difficulty in making a new leap, as it did in the past," said Alves. The point is that nations much poorer than Brazil a few decades ago, such as China and India, have progressed more rapidly - hence the relative loss of Brazilian participation in the world economy. In Brazil, in the last 30 years alone, the extreme poverty rate in the population dropped from 34.3% to just over 10%, according to FGV Social. Although they remain at a similar level, they now fall into the "middle income" level. But it was between 19 that we took a leap in 'demoeconomic' growth, with the population increasing 3.3 times and the GDP, 18.2 times," said Alves.Ģ00 years ago, Brazil and most countries in the world could be considered poor. "Since Independence, with few episodes of setback, Brazil began to grow more than the world average. Protected from external competition by the paltry 1.1% share of global trade flows, according to the World Trade Organization, and favored by the State through subsidies, parliamentary amendments and billionaire contracts, some strata of society continue to take possession of a good part of the national wealth.Īccording to the specialist in population studies José Eustáquio Diniz Alves, professor for two decades at the National School of Statistical Sciences of the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), after independence, and for 160 years, Brazil was an emerging nation in the internationally, with strong population growth. ![]() It looks like desertification has set in, but the rivers and lakes and such seem to still be topped-up (albeit intensely radioactive themselves, so not necessarily helpful for plantlife), so it may be a combination of the heat and frequent radstorms that has stopped foliage from regrowing.In blocking economic modernization, protectionism and patrimonialism were decisive, in the opinion of economists and historians, in maintaining Brazil as one of the countries with the highest concentration of income on the planet throughout recent history.Īccording to the Global Inequality Report (2022), from the Paris School of Economics, the richest 10% in Brazil capture 58.6% of the income and 80% of the accumulated wealth, well above the global average. Neither of those two things should be happening, but they are. There's something screwy going on with the climate there. If it's that hot in October, what's it like for the rest of the year? I've never actually visited Boston myself, being an insulated Welsh troglodyte, but from what I understand it's not even warm in Boston in October, let alone hot. Cait repeatedly complains about the "god-damn heat" as you travel around with her. You might say, "but mutated animals are fine, why aren't there mutated plants too?" There are - hubflowers and such. ![]() Ionising radiation isn't much better for the health of plants than it is for animals, but plants can't dose-up on Rad-X or Radaway. Are radstorms possible? Not in our universe, but they clearly happen in the Fallout one. Radstorms roll in regularly, even 200 years later. We know with certainty two things about the climate of the Commonwealth: Chernobyl being a lush environment where animals are fine (they're not flourishing, contrary to popular belief, and if you think that they are I've got some horrific pictures for you to look at - it's just that it turns out that the presence of humans is a much greater threat to their survival than radiation) in our world is neither here nor there, because physics work differently in Fallout. Their effects aren't based on anything we'd understand. ![]() The Fallout universe is one in which the 1950s science-fiction ideas of nuclear power and nuclear weapons turned out to be real. We know very little about the climate of the world as a whole or the Commonwealth specifically in Fallout 4. ![]()
