Large countries that don't seem to manufacture anything?

Russia is understandable as we don't really do business with them but why does nothing seem to come from the other two?

Russia doesn't really make anything except arms which they are really good at

Nigeria

Tons of raw product processing.

I have a couple baseball caps made in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. The latter isn’t a large country tho

I have a suit that was made in Indonesia. I'm pretty sure they are big fabric exporters.

Those aren’t the largest countries in the world. Those are the most populated countries in they world.

Corruption, Brain-drain, government mismanagement, lack of capital, exploitation by richer countries

Indonesia is the world’s largest palm oil producer

India makes a ton of machinery as well as medicine and cotton.
Pakistan, Indonesia, and Bangladesh make a lot of clothing.
Nigeria exports tons of minerals, especially oil
Brazil exports tons of exotic hardwoods, raw materials for medicines, and beef.
Mexico makes a lot of car parts and grows tons of produce
Russia builds cars and weapons, most of which aren’t sold in North America

Gas in your car probably came from Nigeria

That's all they do

The top 1% in Nigeria is living in palaces and everyone else is on 100 USD per month if they can find work

Its a shite hole of no comparison. Literally government soldiers with AKs have to convoy you if you have more than a few hundred bucks in your pocket.

You could probably bribe off any criminal charge for a couple twenty dollar bills.
