I just remembered, another thing that held (probably still holds) Africa back is that most of its rivers don't allow waterway access to the inner continent. Apparently most if not all of the rivers are too shallow in places, too rocky, or too narrow to let decent sized vessels pass through. Of course things like this wouldn't matter to the highly developed areas of planets in your story world, where they could use something like helicopters or space ships (where there are ports), but there will always be areas that aren't so developed. Here on Earth we have massive metropolises and jungle villages and everything in between. I would think any believable world would work like that, unless it's a super-advanced setting with an all-encompassing governement that either eliminates poor areas or allocates funds to develop them, Of course some areas would be too expensive or impossible to develop, so I guess they'd need to move residents to other areas, where they might not fit in well.

You make a series of good points. The purpose of Solarianisim in my story is to exaggerate these differences.
