In other words, the difference between Buenos Aires in Argentina and other regions is like that between urban and rural areas.
Other than Buenos Aires, no other city in Argentina can compare with East African cities.
So Mikhail arrogantly said, "I've heard from Argentine sailors that apart from Buenos Aires, no city in their country is more developed than Alexandria Port City, whether it's in terms of population, industry, transportation, or city construction."
"And in heavy industry, especially in the steel sector, even their capital Buenos Aires is not as good as our province."
In Mikhail's perception, the Letania Province is only average among East African provinces, and it doesn't even rank in the top three among western coastal provinces.
Above Letania Province are the Congo Province, West Coast Province, and Benguela Province, all of which have higher levels of economic development than Letania Province.
