Bosnia: 100 Points Bosnia's rapid change is propelled by twin rebounds--both from war and from decades of communist rule. Gross domestic product growth in the country of 4.5 million people, roughly the land area of West Virginia, has exceeded 5% in each of the past five years. Still, Bosnia ranks second, behind Macedonia, as the poorest of the former Yugoslav republics. Although 25% of the population falls below the poverty level, a fifth of citizens use mobile phones (a slightly higher rate than fixed telephone line usage).
