Hmm tough one, I don't think there's a single character even in fiction, who can pull this off for long... but if I have to pick, I'd say Dr. Doom, as a ruler he did quite well with Latveria, the nation got wrecked mostly because of the incompetence of the fantastic 4 and shield, but still, he managed to revive the nation multiple times and each time it had a successful and flourishing economy.
