industrial nation
A nation whose economy and society are strongly shaped by industry and that has a high level of economic output. The term is largely synonymous with 'Industrieland' (industrialized country).
Die G7-Staaten sind ein Zusammenschluss der wichtigsten Industrienationen.
The G7 countries are an association of the most important industrial nations.
This word is made up of 'Industrie' (industry) and 'Nation' (nation). It describes a nation whose economy and society are strongly industrial in character.
Die USA sind seit langer Zeit eine mächtige Industrienation.
The USA has long been a powerful industrial nation.
The word 'Industrienationen' (industrial nations) is frequently used in the plural when talking about groups of economically strong countries. A typical example is the reference to the 'G7' as a group of the most important industrial nations.
Die führenden Industrienationen treffen sich jährlich zum Gipfel.
The leading industrial nations meet annually for a summit.
The component '-nation' is also used in other compound nouns to describe the character of a country. Examples are 'Kulturnation' (nation of culture), 'Exportnation' (export nation), or 'Fußballnation' (football nation).
Deutschland ist bekannt als eine große Exportnation.
Germany is known as a major export nation.
developing country
'das Entwicklungsland' and 'die Industrienation' both describe a country's level of development, but they are opposites. A developing country is less developed economically, socially, and industrially. An industrial nation has a strong economy, a lot of industry, and a high level of economic output. The words can be confused because both appear in news reports or school texts about countries and the economy. 'Industrienation' sounds somewhat more formal than 'Industrieland', but here it also means a highly developed country.

Japan is an important industrial nation in Asia.
