    A few fun facts about São Paulo, Brazil:
    - It has the 5º largest stock market in the world
    - It's the largest city in Brazil, but up to the 1950s, some other famous Brazilian cities were larger, such as Rio de Janeiro
    - Speaking of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo is actually older than Rio! Rio was founded in 1565, and São Paulo was founded in 1554, just 54 years after the Portuguese explorers arrived. The very first (and oldest) city in Brasil is Porto Seguro, in the state of Bahia
    - Not only it has the largest Japanese community outside of Japan, but it is also known for having a large Italian community as well

    One of the cool things about Tokyo is that the cityscape basically continues until it just stops and becomes forested mountains or rice paddies / farms. Also, although there is some discrepancy as to whether it deserves the number one spot because their population includes the metropolitan area and not just the city proper itself, I would say it makes sense because you can go from Tokyo, to Kawasaki, to Yokohama all without realizing you have entered different cities. The mass of buildings just doesn't waver.

    Fun fact, you counted "Ecatepec de Morelos" twice. The 20 million figure for Mexico City includes the surrounding "con-urban" municipalities, which includes Ecatepec. Mexico City proper only has about 9 million inhabitants.
    This goes to show how hard it is to delineate a city to count its population, Ecatepec is Mexico's most populous municipality outside Mexico City. But Monterrey is usually considered the second most populous "city" after Mexico City, closely followed by Guadalajara. However, these "cities" are divided and administered as separate municipalities.

      Guadalajara (capital of a separate State) is so close to CDMX (Ciudad de Mexico) that quite a few sources include their population within CDM's (40% of MX's population live within 50 miles / 80 km. around the CDMX center). Puebla (another large city and State Capital) is just farther to the E / SE.
      Monterey, OTOH, is a lot closer to the US border....

    • @TheElizondo88
      @TheElizondo88 2 роки тому +6

      ​@@syxepop Guadalajara is about 550 km away from Mexico City, and there is quite a bit of rural land between them. I've never seen it included in the Greater CDMX by any sources. Puebla is much closer but there is a rather heft set of mountains/volcanoes between CDMX and Puebla so it is also never included.
      You're probably thinking of Toluca (capital of the State of Mexico), which is about 80 km west of Mexico City. Toluca is close enough that quite a few folks live in Toluca and work in Santa Fe, a business district in the edge CDMX, which is only 50km from Toluca.
      Pachuca (capital of the State of Hidalgo) is also under 100km from Mexico City, and a few folks do live in Pachuca and work in the greater Mexico City area (or just north of it). But it is also generally not included within the co-urban area.

It's rather obvious that even the NWFP could have been part of India if their largest group did participate in their plebiscite. The Indian government has had 70years to uplift Kashmir but to this day it remains one the poorest regions of India. I am in noway favouring the Pakistani government or leadership as my opinion of them is atrocious. From my point of view the most equitable outcome is Jammu and Kashmir to be split with each having to choose their side be it independence, burying the hatchet with India or joining Azad Kashmir. What gets to me is innocent soldiers and civilians are being killed in the name of imperialists and at the same time so much extremism through poverty, destitution and ignorance. Do you think those young men would be insurgents if they were given proper education, treated with dignity and respect and access to good paying jobs. I think not. India has come along way from decolonisation however I feel this new sense of nationalism is no different from Nazi Germany. We are fighting colonial borders. This is crazy, you have one group of Indian nationalists crying about restitution from Bitain for colonialism but then want to exert British colonial borders. The hypocrisy. I wouldn't get into Pakistan because it is a failed state of which I see no hope. I just feel for them because their poverty is bad and are still our family whether they wish to admit it or not.
