    Well, when your competition in the "southern hemisphere" is southern Africa (the state where it's health minister believes onions can cure AIDS, and the broader region where they "cure" AIDS by raping babies...) and southern America (that includes, e.g., Argentina that just went bankrupt for the third time in the recent few years - and they are the rich ones!), then those descendants of convicts can claim victory.
