We were first used as a frontierland for Sweden for 600 years, later taken to Russian empire, actively being russified. Breaking free after 1917, we were an literal agrarian shithole. immediately after independence we went in to the bloodiest civil war in europe's history till that day. People literally ate treebark not to starve, after that ww2 rolled around and USSR decided to steamroll us. After 2 exhausting wars we were to pay crushing reparations and lost more than 12% of our land, and USSR demanded that we shall not get any marshall aid.

So, what was your excuse again monkey?

Being a settler country is starting on easy mode cus you can avoid old money and sectarian animosity.

good thing Brazil wasn't a Spanish Colony.

Did you really have to call me monkey? What a vulgar display of violence.

There are universities in Europe that are older than this place. I think the fact that you country went through so much shit is actually a factor that forces the people to "grow". Also Finland is tiny compared to Brazil which has the same size as the USA.

War is progress.

In any event, Brazil's problems are not time-based, but race-based.

>implying Australia didn't have "the Catholic party" and "the Anglican party" for several decades after federation

>>74724048
Except Labour has just as much Methodist heritage as Catholic.

>>74724075
It was without a doubt the Catholic party for most of this country's history.

>>74724141
It got a large portion of the Catholic vote, but it was hardly exclusively Catholic. Among Labor PMs only Scullin and Chifley were Catholic.

>>74724656
You're not even making an argument. Suppose it's "the Catholic and Methodist party". Does that make it any less a sectarian division?

Us too

But you started with good foundation and a colony to live. We started as a colony for resource extraction and no principles.

>>74723896
Ok, I'll give you some time but the sopa better be ready by then.

Australia was settled by the literal scum of Great Britain and only really started at the turn of the 20th century, yet it's better than almost every single country in the world

>>74724008
yeah it's not like there was an ongoing conflict between the irish and english in Australia up till the 1950s

>>74724867
>But you started with good foundation and a colony to live.

Uh, no. We were a "religious crackpot dumping ground".

basically southern europeans couldn't manage colonisation properly.

>>74725145
Turned in to a "religious crackpot breeding ground", but with the new religions of "liberalism" and "democracy". Spread those like a cancer to the rest of the world.

>doesn't know about anti-discrim laws coming in the late 60's mostly aimed at helping Catholics (ie Paddies & Dagos)
>doesn't recall the attempted assassination of the King by some mentally ill paddy

>>74725088
Australia seems to have a cool history. I'll read about it.

>actively being russified.
That didn't happen until the very end, also Finnish language was never banned in the Grand Duchy unlike in Sweden.

South Koreans basically lived in mudhuts until the 1970s and were below literally every other asian country and then went full ultra-modern 0.5 world tier in a few decades.

If you're shit after 50 years of peace, there's literally no excuse.

>>74730313
South Koreans got a lot of development during Japanese colonisation but a lot was destroyed in the wars.
