Italy is one of the most advanced, developed, and put together countries in the world. It is ranked seventh highest GDP, eighth highest quality of life index, and 20th highest human development index. They are apart of the European Union, NATO, and starting in 2007 became a member of the United Nations Security Council. Italy has a very good income and even though they do not have a hardy supply of natural recourses they have reliable contacts in which they can purchase them. Italy’s shape, a peninsula, gives them access to a wider range of trade options with nearby countries with an open passage way for immigrants to enter the country looking for lower paying jobs, helping the economy. The Natural increase rate is low, only .1% a year and the life expectancy is averaged at 80 years old. A country with such statistics as these is headed for a powerful future. Italy, in 50 years, will be even better put together and strategically positioned to become a superpower. Its natural increase rate will continue to decrease to create an even population pyramid or even possibly a slight upside down pyramid. All of their fertile land will be cultivated to make a maximum profit and industries will create new ways of working around the mountains to expand their range.
