In the Magellanic Clouds, the [CII]/CO and the [CII]/FIR ratios are much higher than seen in Milky Way star-forming regions. The enhanced relative strength of the [CII] line reflects the physical environment characterised by the low metallicities, dust abundances, and PAH abundances of the LMC, and especially the SMC.
