<p dir="auto">there is a relation ship yes… quite logic, it's unbearable to work in +45ºc simple as that, you would have to be paying a ton of AC to compensate... in those regions there is also or oil in extreme, or in mild heat a lot of natural food, so when you have plenty of crop, and no need to work for it, you do tend to work less for it because it's already available... if you live at the beach you are not working to retire and live in there, since you already do.</p>

<p dir="auto">ahem… Singapore... actually China has surpassed them also... all a country would need is investment in the correct area, just like finland did too. And marketing. I see Japan slowly going down the list of superpowers in near future, they are stong and smart but have a lot on their plate right now.</p>
