This country cannot be developed. If it's possible we wouldn't be bothered here arguing. You emphasize racial segregation and it should be eradicated as merely a hypothesis.
This country = a piece of land located in a strategically valuable region
People = occupants who live on the land (who are uneducated, narrow-minded, and religious nuts.)
Developed = this piece of land can be developed if we get rid of the uneducated subhuman (not all the people)
As an example, we cannot build a factory, a hotel, a power plant, or anything without protests from stupid ass villagers.
We can't even cut down an old tree without getting harassed by uneducated occupants. We can't have anything decent without getting harassed by monks who do everything but practicing Buddhism. Also, the villagers know nothing and they know everything.
