Like India and China just the sheer size of the population confers major advantages in terms of human talent.
The way it is shaping up at the moment is that the majority of the population is concentrated in and around the 6 great Megacities. Development of the cities has been deliberately directed away from fertile regions of the equator. and into the deserts.
The low Control rating (law level) is an average. Out in the desert only a fool walks around without a fire arm, in the major urban areas only a fool walks around with a firearm. Firearms and densely packed urban areas which also serve (due to the dust tainted atmosphere and extreme climatic conditions) a life support function.
I'm trying to avoid toomuch homogenity in the cities by giving them local customs, culture and ethnic groups.
The main non-Trin ethnic group is composed of Hazelites. There is a very large Hazelite community based in Son Son Solay. I'm planning to base it on an amalgam of Russian, Cuban and Haitian groups in the US. (With a little bit of Yardie thrown in for good measure).
More detailed and less crude information will arrive soon.
