Similarities

Brazil and Russia, both:

- are vast in territories
- are major powers in the world
- have fairly similar populations (Brazil 200M; Russia 140M)
- have abundant natural resources
- have large area of forest
- have complex terrain
- have almost identical GDPs per capita
- are members of BRICS
- have economies highly depend on resource
- are currently in serious economic difficulty

Mexico and Turkey, both:

- have fairly similar populations (Turkey 77M; Mexico 120M)
- are very mountainous
- have lots of history
- have a history of massive emigration
- have a history of revolutions and political turmoil but have been stable for the past few decades
- are highly religious
- have almost identical GDPs per capita
- have large-scale labor exports (Mexico to US; Turkey to EU)
- have highly developed tourism industries

Argentina and Poland, both:

- have very similar populations (about 40M)
- are very flat

What do you think about comparison of these countries? Anyone from these countries have comments?

I don't think Argentina is a very religious country; certainly not as compared to other Latin American countries. And I've got the same feeling about Poland (though in this case I cannot attest to it, it's just a feeling). Poland doesn't seem a very religious country in my mind.

Also, Turkey, as compared to the other Muslim countries, might be the least religious of all.

1. Brazil
2. Argentina
3. Poland
4. Mexico
5. Turkey
6. Russia

Here's the politically correct description from the UN:

1. Brazil: not gypsies yet look and act like gypsies.
2. Poland, Russia: Slavs, should be avoided with great caution.
3. Argentina: Hm, well...yeah I don't lnow: Messi though, cool.
4. Turkey: Lukum + some songs of Tarkan make the country rather tolerable.

There are many ''true'' gypsies communities in Brazil in fact Brazil is the second country with more gypsies in the world. They came together Europeans

Junior Dos Santos - cigano, one that comes to mind.

OK, though I meant the southern mentality of all Brazilians, which isn't linked in any way to the ciganos

Isn't the point of the post to compare the countries that the OP pitted together?
