RESULT: The nation was an oasis in the desert (in more ways than one). The efficent farms earned Zimbabwe the nickname "breadbasket of Africa". Tourists flocked in by the thousands.

IN BETWEEN - A group of shiftless poor blacks decided the balance of wealth was unfair and staged a revolution with the intention to redistribute land. (in essence, communism) AFTER - Zimbabwe is run by the surviving revolutionaries and a mentally unstable president - all of them black. Small family farms now dominate with almost no modern machinery or even draft animals. RESULT: The food surplus is long gone. Record-breaking inflation threatens to turn the currency worthless. And there isn't a tourist dumb enough to visit the nation. Health care is gone and the military has run ouf of money to even buy rations. ---Let the reader decide who did a better job. A comparison:
