Osani
This is Democratic Republic of Congo.
These are Efe people.
Pygmy kids playing Osani ("love") game. They are sitting in circle, feet touching. Each kid names round object or cyclical/circular figure of speech: eye, sun, moon, circle of family. Player who fail go out. Game ends when there is only one left.
Belarus
Fact: Belarus is in almost geographical center of Europe.
Fun fact: Belarus was made famous this year when, in a freak accident, fox shot hunter during the foxhunt. This makes Belarus more like Soviet Russia than modern Russsia itself.
From this country:

Corrupt regime serving specific part of the country
Clientelism is the word you are looking for.
Well-known examples are:
Lega Nord in Italy,
Convergence and Union in Spain,
Kenya African National Union,
Sunnis in Bahrain and so on,
Everywhere, where you are expected to follow political leaders for privileges for your ethnic or religious group.

I've made a list of countries, where healthcare is better or little worse than in China, but manufacturing is lacking. In order of population living in larger cities:
Indonesia 22m,
Bangladesh 18m,
Egypt 16m,
Colombia 15m,
Philippines 13m,
Vietnam 12m,
Morocco 7m,
Iraq 6m,
Syria 6m,
Ukraine 5m -superior in infrastructure and education, clearly giving the right conditions the winner,
North Korea 5m,
Uzbekistan 3m,
There are other similar economies (Cape Verde, Moldova, Armenia, Guatemala...), but they are tiny and will never form manufacturing cluster.
As you can see most of these places lies outside Africa. You cannot start manufacturing without reasonably run city and most African countries don't have that or they have some industry already - Tunisia, Mauritius.
