The state isn't overly rich in resources/industry and agriculture is not a money making proposition for any state/country.

Agriculture never makes any money? WTF. Entire *countries* are founded on doing agriculture well, just because it is inefficient/weirdly subsidised/over-regulated in the US this doesn't make it true for the world in general.

People eat food.

Submission + - ZFS on Linux: It's alive! (linuxworld.com)

Because of the license incompatibilities with the Linux kernel, it has not yet been integrated for distribution within the kernel itself. This project, called ZFS on FUSE, aims to enable GNU/Linux users to use ZFS as a process in userspace, bypassing the legal barrier inherent in having the filesystem coded into the Linux kernel itself. Booting from a ZFS partition has been confirmed to work. The performance currently clocks in at about half as fast as XFS, but with all the success the NTFS-3g project has had creating a high performance FUSE implementation of the NTFS filesystem, there's hope that performance tweaking could yield a practical elimination of barriers for GNU/Linux users to make use of all that ZFS has to offer.
