- hollerith 2y agoJapan has basically no internal energy production. Ditto Switzerland, Sweden and Finland I think. (Being reliant on energy imports definitely makes it harder for these countries to guarantee their national security in time of war, tho.) Also the Southern US states were never richer than the North.
