russia was rapidly industrialized in 30ss, that busted the gpd
pic is semi-related, the inscription there it's "[let's complete] the five-years-plan in five years!" (originally that slogan was ...in four years)

Poor people in northern Europe always froze or starved to death during the winter so it naturally created a eugenic effect where poor people could not breed. In Australia we have the opposite effect where abos have just sat around in the desert 40,000 years doing nothing but shitting out new abos and surviving on as little calories as possible (meaning their brains shrunk as an evolutionary advantage). They evolved to be poor.

It becomes less cold here because of the climate than it does east of here. So the argument doesn't make sense then Eastern Slavs would have the same evolutionary properties.

Why aren't the Inuits the most successful?

Nah, we just have a culture that accepts no corruption at all and had a government with actual foresight. They secured vast territories of the north sea (intended for fish), we were and still are one of the worlds top exporters of military technology and production and made bank from lumber and silver production.
When we around 1969 realized that there might be oil in the north sea we refused to have american companies pump it up for us, and instead got american engineers to create the first batch of norwegian oil engineers. This way none of the revenue from oil went into foreign companies, but rather into the state run Statoil.

Eh, it's just banter to cover up how jealous we are.
We would have been fine if we never found the oil, but if we remove it now, we will be Africa tier, or at least Greece tier.
Norway has no future.

Denmark just sold our oil fields today to the French. We bet on oil will be less worth in the future, and the oil in the North Sea are some of the most expensive to pump.
