How can a country get money?

Bonds you moron. Or print money if you have your own currency. Of privatizing state owned institutions.

>acquire large sums of monetary value
What's that even supposed to mean? What is your end-goal? More money in nominal terms? More state-owned assets? Upvaluing their currency?

I'm not quite sure you understand what money is.

Literally money. As in bills of dollars. So the country can invest more in infrastructure, healthcare, education, research, while also lowering taxes.

Although taking on debt and printing money will downvalue your currency.

Going to war costs a lot of money (supplies, rebuilding, etc) and seizing foreign banks is usually not the biggest spoils of war. In the end you'd have to still convert the foreign currency or sell the seized assets, while generally investing even more into your new lands to incorporate them into your nation. And if you are a warmonger, we're back to your own currency tanking. So having more nominal cash is fine domestically but will backfire whenever you need to import anything. War is not exacty the best way to get rich in modern times.

The quickest legit way is natural resources. It's out of your control, but if you happen to sit on oil or rare earths or something, you can amass a staggering wealth (example: Norway).

The non-random legit way is growing your economy. If your GDP doubles you could (in simplfied theory) halve taxes and still make the same money. So short term you should invest in education, science and high-tech industry to become an economic powerhouse long-term.

Saudi is privatizing Aramco.
Problem is that it's a super inefficient company like all government institutions are.
The only value an organisation like that has is in property rights, not the organisation itself.

seriously, the allies created the perfect system in germany to keep the wageslaves poor and make materialism cheap as fuck at the same time while pushing the economy extremely through taxes - migrants in this case.

The problem with privatizations is they're usually privatized to alien investors or companies. Like how Brazil privatized Vale and Petrobras to George Soros.
