Cuba has all what Dustin said , they do have good education and all because the government pays them to have an educated population. but then, the people have to '' pay back '' , it looks good and all but because of the ( '' blocus '' i dont know that word in english, just in french) that the USA and their allies imposed to cuba, they can't upgrade the technology of the country. if they cant upgrade, they cant keep up. If they cant keep up, they are stuck with old machinery and are forced to invent new ways of keep it working ( hint: those 50's chevys that made it there and still running with pieces taken out of a LADA ). If America and co. '' blocked '' Cuba from growing bigger for one reason, they were scared. scared that the people's country could rule over them so hard that only nature could wipe them out ( hint: look at china, a communist nation, is growing bigger every day, a force to be reckoned for the future )
