First world countries are almost always industrial, having complex factories capable of mass producing almost anything that they desire.

The fact that the German army managed to not only oppose but overpower larger countries during World War Two was a testament to their industrial might and efficiency.

Industrial power and efficiency is critical for military success in modern warfare, as tanks, planes, and warships are the modern tools of choice for combat.

While industrial power is great for the mass production of goods in a country, the increased number of factories also produces a lot of pollution and waste.

The factory is the unquestioned symbol of an industrial nation, easily turning raw materials into vehicles and consumer products en masse.
