matvail2002 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Is this version of Tokundi is as affluent as say, Singapore? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopprogressive Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Is this version of Tokundi is as affluent as say, Singapore? Parts of it are: Raffles, Victoria, Balachang, San Pedro and Novo Lisboa. Yeognam and Hokkien are about Taiwan-south korea levels. The interior consists of poor rural areas and industrial cities, which are rather envious of the prosperity of the coasts. The Muslim-majority Sulu mostly consists of slums and shanytowns outside of Balachang along with a budding oil industry. Predicatably, the coasts are more pro-western (especially NL, SP, Victoria and Raffles) while the southeast and northwest are more anti-western. The battleground regions are basically Balachang, Hokkien, and the northern interior- also victoria and raffles are narrowly pro-iron mountain). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
