has pros and cons, it's not so secluded that we can't move around or have access to global markets, etc. just kind of reserved and bureaucratic and puts 0 effort into marketing itself or inviting tourists (we impose visas on everyone for example)
for me the worst part about it is people subconsciously equating not hearing about a place with it being worse, it's actually a lot more developed than most people assume (yeah still a thirdie shithole but people think egypt is better or some shit which is insane), this is why soft power is good, to just let people know who you are, in its absence negative impressions fill the void
