POPSMegadiverse Countries I actually came across this wiki article by chance. It is a term I never heard of and find quite interesting. The list of 17 countries is unique in that it includes "highly developed" nations such as The United States and China and many nations with less "developed" economies. I put the terms in quotes because the only meaningful way of comparing nation states would be based on the humanity of their institutions and in that regard the US...well lets just leave it there. In any case, I would love to be at a meeting of these 17 nations. The environmental crisis facing the entire planet demands creative solutions and challenging efforts at cooperation. Perhaps humanity will rise to the occasion.

When the player finds out that he has been subliminally controlled by Atlas throughout the entire game, he or she experiences a very sudden, shocking reassessment of values. Having gone through the game thus far with the single-minded intent of beating Andrew Ryan to a bloody pulp, the player is suddenly forced to ask a question most other games would never dream of proposing to the player: "Why am I doing this?" ...
