The Republic of Niger fascinates me. It's a country of 20 million people, with desert covering almost the entire country. Like, 95% of it. It's has one of the lowest HDIs in the world today, but what could be done with a POD of its independence day (3rd of August 1960) to give it a high HDI - or at least a HDI at the same level as Botswana?
