       The first two indicators I chose where two show a direct relation to their development, they said that when the total GDP rises the percent of the population in the service industry will also rise.  This is shows development because when a country becomes richer they start to invest more into the service economy and can ship in everything else that they need.   My second indicator, which was indirect said that when the total GDP rises the amount of arms exports will also rise.  This is because as a country becomes more developed they go into the high mass consumption stage of the Rostow's model of development and begin to produce a surplus of items which they can then sell giving more money to the country and the workers of the arms industry who will then buy more things and eventually improve the economy.

        For the first video concerning the GDP and the percent in the service economy I noticed the pattern that the countries that were expanding the most were the one's that already had a booming secondary economic sector.  Outliers here would be China because as most of the other countries didn't start expanding rapidly until they hit the 67 mark on the Y axis, while the US and Japan started off earlier around the 50 mark on the Y axis and China started way down by the 35 mark.  The US always was big into industry so the turn to the Service sector was not that big, for Japan it got a huge leap with its rebuilding in the post world war area.  China had many things happen in the 90's all of them related to modernizing China along with promoting more free enterprise.

The second video was the the GDP and arms exports.  Due to the US's large amount of capital and natural resources it quickly held a monopoly on the arms industry.  It isn't until well into the 1970s that any of the other countries,  Russia and Germany make a jump.  Russia along with many other countries made a jump due to the Cold War between NATO and the WARSAW Pact, which created a massive need for weapons.

          The new boundary that I have created for China has taken the north eastern part of Siberia from the  Lake Baikal and in the northern part being the Aldan river.  For the break up of Vanuatu the boundaries that I have are the islands Aoba Maewo, Banks Torres and Espiritu Santo.  These are the two center islands in the county.
         I believe China will take this area because they are in desperate need of farm land and the north eastern part of China up to the Zeyskoyem Vodokhranilishche lake in Siberia have very arable land, in addition to this need, they already have a number of Chinese farmers already farming the land.  China will get a bonus prospect of taking land up to the Yablonovyy mountain range in Siberia due to that land having a vast amount of natural resources.  The Federation of Na-Griamel wants to seperate itself from Vanuatu because it's had a fight for independence against the French in the 1970's and is not its own country as it has hoped but instead is part of Vanuatu.
          For the boundary with China I used physical boundaries, those being Lake Baikal, Yablonovyy mountain range and the Aldan river.  This area is also on one of the furthest areas of Russia and the Russian army is scarce in this region.  For the Na-Graimel I used the pacific ocean as a physical boundary which separates the islands.
          what difference do these boundaries make?  For China this would destroy most if not all ties it has with Russia and may even start a war.  For Na-Graimel this would spark a new wave of terrorism.  Because Vanuatu will not let them go that easily and the new state due to its pathetic size may not be recognized.
