Summary
Throughout this chart i realized that the Philippines contains the same amount of natural resources as the U.S., but the Philippines can create more resources to export than the U.S. can. Also the Philippines has more trading partners than the U.S., but i know the U.S. has a better governmental system than the Philippines and i don't understand why that is so. I have also noticed that the literacy rate is 82% but the people of the Philippines are able to make all the money from exports and keep thier government stable. No matter the size of the country, you never know how well that country can do in the long run.
