re: #236 Obdicut
Afghanistan is really not a place you invade to take advantage of. They don’t have anything, other than copious amounts of opium.
They don’t do anything is more accurate. They could be a wealthy country if they they were a country instead of a bunch of 14th century tribes.
Afghanistan actually has masses of valuable minerals, from copper to iron to rare earths and more, but mining is beyond their ability.
