Argentina is like that too plus we have a system in which the tax money from richer provinces is redistributed to the poorer provinces
This was supposed to help the poor regions develop
In reality what happened is that governors from poor provinces turned their province into feudal realms in which the governor rules with an iron fist and keeps getting reelected by paying gibs to 90% of the local population, gibs which the local economy can in no way ever support, but they are paid for by the taxes of people living in the other side of the country
See pic, blue and green are the ONLY provinces in which more than half of the provincial government's budget is paid for by local taxes instead of federal gibs
