Basically the size of Alaska, but (in Congo’s case) a hundred million people living there. The Second Congo War is the deadliest conflict since WWII, with over 5 million deaths.

Algeria is 90% Desert. If you want to make that case then put Alaska on the map.

Costs to build roads, highways and railways will be high in Algeria and DRC given their large size. Best to build big high-density, high-rise cities HongKong style with subway networks to optimize infrastructure spending. High-rise is also more efficient to climate control so Algerians and Congolese can stay comfortable inside given their climates can be harsh.
