Yepp...all countries that heavily chopped off their trees lend a helping hand to soil erosion and thus, land slides. It is quite common in India.

Japan experiences an average of 3000 tremors a year. That's 10% of all the earth's measurable quakes, making them the most earthquake prone.  The pacific rim experiences 80% of the world's major earthquakes.  That includes the western coast of South, Central and contental North Americas the southern part of Alaska, across to Japan, then down to the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.\n\nIn 2005 there were 8 earthquakes 7.0 to 7.9, and one 8.7.  See link for other years.\n\nGood question!

Sounds like one of those countries that is always at war.

Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle merite.\n\n"Every nation has the government that it deserves."\n\n(Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821), in a letter on the subject of Russia (Lettres et Opuscules Inedits)[15 Aug. 1811])\n\nThere are many countries with a fraction of the natural beauty and human resources of the Philippines that have a far better standard of living.\n\nThe people vote for the government, they tolerate the wholesale corruption in society .. who else is to blame??

Corruption has no barrier of border..it is everywhere..i think politicians all over the world are corrupted..

What i found on wikipedia- Reasons\n\nerosion by rivers, glaciers, or ocean waves create oversteepened slopes \nrock and soil slopes are weakened through saturation by snowmelt or heavy rains \nearthquakes create stresses that make weak slopes fail (see liquefaction, Hope Slide) \nvolcanic eruptions produce loose ash deposits, heavy rain, and debris flows. \nvibrations from machinery, traffic, blasting, and even thunder may trigger failure of weak slopes \nexcess weight from accumulation of rain or snow, stockpiling of rock or ore, from waste piles, or from man-made structures may stress weak slopes to failure and other structures \ngroundwater pressure acting to destabilise the slope \nin shallow soils, the removal of deep-rooted vegetation that binds the colluvium to bedrock.

If a country is not willing to help themselves then what will we be fighting for.  It is actually more difficult in some cases to determine if they are not willing to help themselves or if they actually can not help themselves.  Some countries are actually incapable of helping themselves.  Africa sticks out in my mind when speaking of this.  Not to pick on Africa though there are plenty of others however that was the first one that came to mind.  Bottom line for me though is if you refuse to help yourself then there is nothing we can do for you.

I have friends who have vacationed there and have had no trouble. I've heard it is an astoundingly beautiful country. I does have its problems like any other country. Would you walk at night in some areas of Washington DC? Hell! And that's the nation's capital. Every country has its own dangerous places. Right in Berlin, where they are celebrating the World Cup, they have designated some "NO GO" zones. If you venture into one of these, you could be lynched just for having skin that isn't the right shade of white.

No.  The country while beautiful does not have large enought statiums, resources and the population to fill the statiums

In many of the countries they are not distributing the aid AT ALL.  In some they are and those economies tend to outperform the other ones over the long term.

Not really.  To some extent or another, every state usually has some sort of natural disaster you'd have to worry about at one point or another.  You do realize, of course, that the safer states are the ones with the natural disasters that don't occur very often... and yet, when they DO occur, it's for major damage?\n\nBesides.... if you wanted to live some place where there's it's completely safe.... then it'd be in Alaska.  I'm fairly sure there's areas up there where you wouldn't have to worry about too much snow - but then again, there have been earthquakes up there...  never mind.  I don't think there's any place on the EARTH where it'd be disaster free, unless you want to live in a deep cave protected against outside elements in the center of a tectonic plate.......!\n\nBut, you know, I used to live in Michigan, and we never had to worry about mudslides, volcanoes, avalanches, wind storms, tropical storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, or droughts.  Sure, we had the very occasional hail storm, very VERY occasional wind/ice storm, and every winter we'd get a nice snow storm sometimes a blizzard, and lightning storms were normal, but not very severe like down south, occasional floods... and twisters/tornadoes were not unheard of, either.  But nothing like in Kansas!  ... But I did see a couple there.... \n\nAnyway.  Just so you know, there's always something that can happen anywhere....

There is no country that is a pure democracy, meaning every citizen votes for literally every decision. The only place I can think of small enough for this to be practical is Liechtenstein, and they have a constiutional monarchy like Britain. The logistical nightmares of a pure democracy are too difficult to overcome once you get to be the size of even the smallest of nations.\n\nAthens did have a pure democracy in that every citizen was granted the right to vote in the assembly; however, only land-owning men were citizens.

yes, there is corruption in all governments at all levels and more so in some countries than in others. americans would rather believe thought that we have the most here but just take mexico for example, every time they get stopped for a traffic violation there has to be a bribe paid, and they get stopped alot. most other countries have very obvious corruption like venezuela, india, and many other third world countries.

Essentially all hillsides have the potential for a landslide; therefore, they can only be predicted in the most general way. For instance, where a landslide has occurred in the past, there is a higher probability that it will reactivate sometime in the future. Where natural slopes have been disturbed by cutting away at the bottom of the slope, there is a higher chance of sliding in that area relative to the undisturbed hillsides. Hillsides subjected to intensive watering or private septic systems may also be more susceptible.\n\nThe type of soil a hillside is composed of can also affect its potential for landsliding. Hillsides composed of poorly indurated or highly fractured rock are more susceptible to landsliding.\n\nWe can also generally say that there will probably be more landslides in a wet year than in a dry year, but an absolute prediction of where a new landslide will occur would constitute an educated guess at best.

Isn't that country in enough trouble already?!

Other the usual (England, Iraq war, etc.), the only major issue I can think of is the fact that Scottish pareliment's roof almost caved in.\n\nBelow are some newspaper sites. The local internet news is always a good place to check for a countries' current concerns and issues.

few: split of Russia, however most existed but are being let go from the 'occupants'\n\n\nis Iraq then the same country, the same people, different government. Did you mean government or country which did not have borders before?\n\nhttp://www.defenselink.mil/news/May2006/20060520_5179.html
