I live in a country where once, kleptomaniacs, brought the country to bankruptcy. What followed was the disintegration of the country into a little more than 10 independent republics, and high-class scientists who had previously made discoveries and developments on an international scale, traded vegetables in unofficial markets! It wasn't scary, it was terrible! The economy, education, social level were sinking. But, the presence of a good education, free access to information, did their job - people, especially young people, began to develop, receive online education, study professions of interest and demand ... And after a while, even despite the high level of corruption, our country occupied definitely a good position in the international market. No, not raw materials, as some countries do, but goods and services with high added value, formed by our people. I am absolutely sure that we are not much different, and your country, or rather its population, has the opportunity to improve its level of knowledge and skills. Moreover, the modern world allows you to work, for example, in large European or other profitable markets, remotely, from any country where there are no totalitarian regimes and total bans!

If you have a real desire to change yourself and the situation in your country, there are a lot of tools for this! I'm sure you should succeed!
