A country is not a business but it's naive to suggest there's no overlaps.
There are trade agreements, financial planning, rules, laws & controls, management of large projects & infrastructure, trying to grow the economy/GDP.
Many things that function similarly to large businesses.
Business success and wealth do not necessarily imply competence in things like financial management, understanding rules and laws, or infrastructure development etc. Richard Branson couldn't read a P&L until his companies were already making billions. Kanye West was a billionaire (until this week) despite being a severely brain damaged individual.
