How are North and South Korea most dissimilar:After arguing against an emerging consensus that it must be literacy (based on my Latin American experience that socialist countries do quite a good job on that score), the answer turned out to be: b) population. In other words, in social-economic terms the two countries are not all that dissimilar.
a) literacy rate
b) population
c) life expectancy
d) (can't remember)
Okay, so getting back to the first question, if Randy Paul is out there anywhere, could you please recommend a couple of books for me to brush up on Brazil basics? I also thought Brazil might be the top exporter of cocoa in the world. After all, in recent years all those yummy Brazilian chocolates turned up in Salvadoran supermarkets.

life expectancy is comparable even after all those folks died from famine in the 90s? or maybe that accounts for the difference in population . . . -- max
South and North Korea are very different socioeconomically. "Literacy" and "life-expectancy" are only two of many indicators for social and economic development. For example, Cuba has a high literacy rate, life-expectancy, and health care system. But very few people would consider Cuba developed and on par with other western nations
