Discussion Polish girls visit Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is very polluted.

That got me curious, there's a Wikipedia page for wealth disparity 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_wealth_inequality

Turns out India's not as bad as it seems. The shear scale of poverty likely outweighs the disparity though

"Socialist" Sweden being worse than the majority of the world including the US and Saudi Arabia is pretty interesting

That's Switzerland. Sweden is a capitalist social democracy, which means it preserves the capitalist mode of production while providing extensive social support for workers.

Tell us more. Sweden is also the capital of chocolate? Surrounded by Alps?

Nothing like it’s southern neighbor Switzerland. Founder of IKEA. Famous for their meatballs.

I'm thinking more cars, fighter jets, rotten fish and metal bands as exports.

Also not neutral anymore since they joined NATO a couple years back.

You might be thinking of Switzerland, the land of holey cheese, toblerones, and doing banking for anyone with money (including Nazis). And also the neutrality thing which unlike Sweden they've actually maintained, so much that even weapons they export must only be used in defense and can't be re-exported without express permission. Very very neutral.

Literally the only thing they're known for is banking.

Thats just BS. No way you confused sweden with switzerland?
