there's plenty of identical country to the FI in Southern Argentina which isn't exactly overrun by people either.... my FI friends tell me they reckon the wages would be a major attraction but otherwise why would they go there?
If & when the oil kicks in the FI will be a very rich place - like other suddenly rich places you may well find the other generation decide to give up traditional practices and live the high life with all the menial tasks (like running the place) out sourced to Brits, Saints, Gurkhas, Argies and Chileans.........
PS before I'm accused of being a fully fledged surrender monkey - for the record the Argentinean Claim to the FI is probably one of the least credible "claims" to other people's territory floating around World Politics...................... they were wrong (and stupid) to invade and we were right to take it back
