[ WP ] Nobody every colonized another country . Nobody wanted to go exploring and everybody stayed in their own native land and developed their own unique cultures . The 3rd world countries are n't 3rd world because they were n't colonized . How is the world different ?

I can only speak for my own country, you understand? Your question is one we've asked ourselves a thousand times around a thousand fires: did you change us or did we? 
 
 When we first settled, it was hard but the land gave up its secrets and we prospered. After ten generations, we almost forgot where we'd come from. After twenty generations, we had forgotten. Family tribes grew and more land was cleared, but we were careful. For every ten trees cut we'd plant one, and bed a rock down to encourage growth because the soil was weak. We grew food in protected craters and manufactured clever dam and irrigation systems on an island where there were no rivers, only run offs. 
 
 When you first visted, you said that we were friendly and healthy. Were you lying? 
 A few more visits and you said we looked sickly and sunk in despair. Were you lying then too? 
 Later visits killed and took our healthiest to work elsewhere. We were only a small country! Then someone came and took our land, filling it with sheep and banishing us to a small quarter. 
 
 Even today, we are only 5,000. Tourists come daily now and we are as blinded by their camera flashes as they are by stories of how we were so stupid as to kill oursleves by cutting all the trees down to make logs to transport the moai.
