even with all the 'extras' it's probably only 220 or so. there'll be repeats but iunno if it's on a cycle or random

also they may change year-to-year with new numbers?

My first guess was Micronesia because that's always the first Pacific Island country I think of

last time around they started doing US states. i stopped because i somehow care less for the export economy of oregon than i do for that of fiji.

there also seems to be some pattern, but i haven't figured it out entirely. it's like a sloppily shuffled deck.

The export total helped narrow it down for me as I don't think there's too many pacific islands that go that high. The bullshit Hong Kong one really made me rethink how I approach this

Qatar was a great first guess, if I do say so myself. Very close on total exports and petroleum fraction, but where today’s nation has raw minerals, Qatar has petroleum derivatives.

Weird chart on this one.

I thought maybe it was like a middleman scenario, like a baby Switzerland, but the rest of the chart suggests nah, this is mining.

I know that a lot of gold mining happens in Southeast Asia/Oceania, but I think that all the countries there do too much business total. Where’s the petroleum? The palm oil?

So I turned my attention to the north coast of South America, where I know that gold mining has been done for a long time. I might have chosen Guyana, but that was the answer just a few days ago, or French Guiana, but it’s not broken out like Hong Kong is. So I win by the game mechanics eliminating other options, and for all I know there’s some other place I’m not thinking about with a similar volume of gold mining.

yeah this surprised me a bit. despite reading a good piece on those mines in le monde diplomatique not that long ago, i didn't realise that it was such a huge part of their economy. i rather stupidly tried some of the island nations first, so it took me four tries where it probably should've taken me two

Where'd you start in africa? I always start with the CAR if I'm playing worldle and don't recognize it (and it's not an obvious island country) that way I can figure out where else on the continent it's likely to be

Continent top exports, major spoilers I guess:



I didn’t know that there were that many with gold as a top export.

The former Gold Coast, now Ghana is not a great match.

Goddammit I almost guessed that first. Would have been two in a row, albeit totally cheating by looking at the map of African primary exports yesterday.

e: Angola, my first guess, Has an economy two and a half times as large and no appreciable gold exports, so I deserved to lose with that guess. I might also have been tipped off by the missing diamond exports.
