In 200 years, countries like, Russia, Canada, US and Brazil, will no longer be viable. I mean viable as in the form we see today. Population dwindling, and there won't be capital to keep roads, bridges, electrical lines, to serve that immense landmass. Europe is a more likely to be viable. Of course Brazil and Australia still have population. But they will leave along the coast with few sparse population in the country side just doing a bit of mini g here and there and mostly in Agriculture. Cost of infrastructure will kill them. I was in Sweden in an area -southwest border to Norway- that has been already given back to nature. Today is just a place for Germans to go there and camp. Lots of old towns that used to be home of industry -bullets for rifles, cement, iron- now ghost towns. I toured the Goitha Canal which used to transport good inland and today only left for sail sports and tourist boats. All young people going to cities and live the cites behind only with old people. That, is the shape of things to come. You've to travel with this clinical eye to see the developments in the bud. Most I can talk abut Canada is because I crossed the country form Halifax to Victoria Island in 1986. Always looking to how things developed and into which form it is going to take.
