$2.74/day

Jesus Christ, I didn't expect it to be that bad. That's Africa shit, and these are the guys that did some of the colonising, rather than being subjected to it.

Edit: Because it's not. it works out to more like $15/day, if we trust official numbers. That must be a minimum you're using or something.

It varies massively by region, though, because some of those colonies are still inside.
