    Well, maybe I should not have used FRG and GDR as an example. I should say that this is not the point I was originally trying to make.

    I used those as an example because they are similar countries, and contrasted it with comparing a european nation with a undeveloped african/asian nation. I was not trying to criticise east germany really, and I admit there are many reasons why it was and still is I suppose lacking compared to the west.
