because your economy, if this is actually possible, is more fucked than the UK's
Your transport infrastructure is shambolic, the country is massively reliant on tax breaks and kickbacks offered to foreign companies to invest (which will of course backfire horribly sooner or later) and your capital city has been a gigantic building and roadworks site for the last 10 years.
