i’d say resource extraction requires political stability, actually, since mining sites are big and difficult to defend and also immobile, so they can’t just be moved out of the way when there’s danger. and also the long transport lines for minerals are long and therefore difficult to protect.
That low level of stability can be achieved with proxy forces or mercenaries guarding corporate facilities
