comparing nations

            
             The Philippines and The Republic of Congo.
             The Philippines and The Republic of Congo; two very different nations with a lot of similarities. The Philippines, a cluster of islands sinking in their over flowing population yet holding on to its economic ties with its industries. And The Republic of Congo, a developing nation with a very fragile and unstable government. .
             The Philippines and Congo are both working towards the same national interests but with very different circumstances. Though the Philippines is highly industrialized its large population of 81 million has become a drawback to the nations ideology. With its massive population most of the island is covered with people living on op of each other. The Philippines main economic and national concern is the massive and un-controlled deforestation of their little remaining un-habituated jungle forests. And if not to make things worse the island suffers from environmental pollution ranging from soil erosion to air pollution to polluted waters and coastal swaps. Though they have signed and ratified a number of treaties created to put the nations into a global community thought train they lack the ideology and government to bring the nation together. .
             The people of the Philippines share almost no national resolve. In a world of poverty the people strive for what little money they can get . And with the fluctuation of the Philippine peso its hard for the economy and the people to keep up with inflation. The country relies heavily on imported goods and raw materials. And in turn exports slightly more with its huge industries.
             The Philippines greatest military strength is that of their Navy which also consists of a Coast Guard and Marine Corps. The Philippines has no major military conflicts with other countries because they are not looked at as a major threat with no immediate neighbors. The greatest interest is that of the trafficking of illegal narcotics through the many ports surrounding the island.
