The IQ score for Nepal that gets thrown around almost certainly is wrong, either due to it not being representative of the whole population or due to some quirk of the particular test given not accounting for something local that invalidates it.
That said, low IQ population can be functional if there are enough people at the right end of their bell curve that are relatively intelligent to run things and the local cultural values reinforce letting that group run things. You can't have a country of 42s, even if 1% of them are 95s. But you can have a country of 80s being lead by 110s, especially if they have access to global charity and/or tourism (but probably not exportable resources). Nepal likely fulfills all of those criteria so it can function at the low level it does without much trouble. Flooding and earthquakes inflict their pain but day to day life is relatively calm, especially compared to somewhere like Liberia.
