Bangladesh came late to the nanosocialist
camp, joining the TSA only after a local nanosocialist
party came to power in peaceful elections in
2081. The nation took little part in the Pacific War,
and has since managed to avoid involvement in serious
confrontation.

Once one of the world’s poorest countries,
Bangladesh managed rapid progress in Fourth Wave
biotech industries in the 2030s and 2040s. Today the
country still lags far behind the Fifth Wave nations,
but desperate poverty has been almost eliminated.
Most of the populace has adequate food, water,
housing, and health care. The main lack felt by the
citizenry is in access to information services. Outside
the urban areas, many people even lack telephones,
much less full web access. In any case,
Bangladesh has been cut off from the global web
ever since it joined the TSA.

Among the TSA nations, Bangladesh probably
approaches most closely to the ideal of making the
benefits of modern technology uniformly available
to all its citizens. The poorest citizens have enjoyed
great progress in their standard of living, while the
nation’s leaders ostentatiously maintain an austere
lifestyle. Most Bangladeshi citizens are quietly
proud of their country’s progress, and work hard to
press on further.

Bangladesh is dominated by the low-lying
Ganges river delta. Even before global warming
caused ocean levels to rise, much of the country was
often devastated by monsoon storms coming off the
Indian Ocean. Many citizens were relocated to higher
ground in the course of the century. Meanwhile,
Bangadeshi gengineers have specialized in adapting
human beings to amphibious or even underwater
existence. Today, the continental shelf off the
Bangladeshi coast is densely settled by various
“merpeople” variants, lacking advanced technology
but developing their own distinctive ways to live
underwater. Bangladesh intends to be a major player
in undersea development as this community
expands.

Bangladesh is an important jumping-off point
for covert nanosocialist activities to the west. A
long-standing relationship with [[India]] makes it relatively
easy for Bangladeshi spies or diplomats to operate
there. Meanwhile, Bangadesh has long been an
exporter of labor to the Islamic countries around the Persian
Gulf. This flow has been restricted by anti-TSA sanctions,
but it still exists and can be used by covert
operatives.
