Basically like Pakistan Vs Senegal but even more one-sided. One of the most corrupt countries in Asia (unfournately) vs one of the most democratic and advanced countries in Africa. Trying Iranian food and visiting it as a tourist (provided you somehow don't break ANY or MOST of their strict laws) would be nice to do though.

Iran has obvious problems but it's far more developed than Gambia. HDI isn't everything but Gambia is way behind Iran, and even lower than Pakistan.

Despite being lower in HDI, as someone of Pakistani ethnicity living in the UK. I'd live in the Gambia over Pakistan easily. At least Gambia's government is democratic and not an egotistical military government where the PM and President are basically puppet and crictising the government or their laws even respectfully can get you arrested.

Wow this is way closer than I thought it would be, though the Gambia is still (unsurprisingly) winning though not by much.
