I just thought about that last night (Austria). Switzerland too. I saw some pictures of some of the mountainous regions of Pakstan after the big earthquake there a year or two ago. Gorgeous country but it struck me, well of course, any kind of transport, commerce, agriculture, you name it, is going to be more difficult in that terrain (especially w/o modern tech) and that would likely lead to less prosperity, education, etc.
