A Technology Backwater is a negative economy situation in which a nation becomes known for its lack of scientific advancement and its reliance on obsolete technology, harming its GDP by up to 30%. One of the biggest causes of backwaters is a low Literacy rate, although a lack of public Science Funding or the teaching of Creationism in schools can also give a nation a reputation for poor advancement. A change in funding levels or curriculum can help solve the problem, as will funding a Space Program, permitting Stem Cell Research, enacting Tax Shelters to attract wealthy elites, and giving out Technology Grants and/or University Grants. These policies might not only fix the backwater but even replace it with a Technological Advantage over time.
