Do most nations produce novels?

I know someone of Korean descent who claimed that there is little in Korean culture beyond cuisine. That got me to thinking about the world in general, and I figured I would limit things to written work.

Are there Korean novelists? What about other Asian countries other than Japan and India? Indonesia is the fourth most populous nation in the world. Do they produce novels? I suppose smaller or poorer countries may have fewer writers. I would guess that there are Chinese writers, though they may have censorship problems. Do all European countries produce literature in one form or another? Are there works in Finnish or Latvian? I know there are Nigerian writers. What about the rest of Africa? There is some great literature from Latin America. Does this include Bolivia or Paraguay?
