Is this version of Tokundi is as affluent as say, Singapore?

[gopprogressive]

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).

[gopprogressive]

I'll get started on the ridings and regionalism this week.
