DIAMONDS COUNTRY S BEST FRIEND? In 2040, mining is big industry in Tanzania. There are less gold in Tanzania and rare earth minerals become more important. Mining knowledge is a big export sector as well. Rural population increases in two ways. There are mining towns around mines. There are sustenance farming in traditional villages. Mining towns grow because there is a claim that mining rights are legally tight to better systems. Investment in science is important. Very high scientific education. The school system benefits top talents. Society is very meritocratic: high employed people work in the mining industry and research. Families break apart, because not everyone lives in mining towns.
