After examining the data shown in the table above, it can be assumed that Namibia is a rural country. The data in the Namibian side is shockingly minute compared to that of the US. The population of Namibia, at approximately 1,797,677, is a mere shadow of the US's approximate 278,058,881 people. The land is dry and of a desert climate causing there to be very slim amounts of water, which explains why there are no waterways in Namibia.

From looking at the data, it can be assumed that most products are transported to different areas of Namibia on animals and roads, because there are very few airports and no bodies of water within the country by which products can be shipped across by boat. Also, to transport goods to other nations in Africa, it can be assumed that they are shipped on roads or possibly airplanes. Finally, it would be difficult for Namibia to ship goods to different continents, such as the US, because there are so few airports by which to transport the products; it may be easier, however, if the goods were transported by ships across the Atlantic.
