Second world, depending on level of industrialization.

Remember the old “world” definitions, i.e. first world = free “democratic”/republican countries, second world = communist bloc, third world = undeveloped backward countries that the second world always looks to take over for resources (and upbraids the first world for seeking to protect them from the second world). That became “developed nations” and “developing nations” after the Cold War ended, with China in the perpetual “developing nation” status.

True, I was thinking location as much as whatever level of development.

Even if they were getting it from Japan, it would still be insane given the geography of such a supply chain.
