Its something I only find emotionally charged replies, most people are like you don't know the full story of the others you perceive to be living the life. They give examples of rich being inflicted with disease as if it only comes to the rich, there ratio of sick poor people is higher than sick rich people. About prophets facing great hardship but always fail to mention they had direct intervention, today if I get thrown into a put of fire it will not do me such favors nor even if I was born in such an era. I find it absurd to expect us to follow such people when they were made superior by Islamic standards. Its like asking toyota corolla to perform like a ferrari. Nor were they encompassed in a riba based banking system or confronted with evolution.
I come from the subcontinent. I grew up seeing that the only way to make it better in life is to lie cheat and steal even the so called religious people the huzurs are very slimy.
Does anybody know which prophets were sent to the following nations?
Australia
China
Japan
UK
USA
Peace
We don't know. That Prophet that was sent for every single nation is Muhammad (pbuh). It doesn't matter that he was of Arab descent or that Allah chose the Arabic language as the language for His religion. Islam is a religion for all people, places, and times. This is all that really counts. Even if you knew the names and message of the Prophets that visited the above places, all of those prophets would be obliged to follow the message of Muhammad as he is the seal of all the Prophets before him.
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]

( too lazy to scroll all the way and find the post, sorry!)
There may well have been prophets sent to those places, but the thing is those places arenr the same places we think of today when we think of japan etc. Kinda random and probably very irrelevent, but just my two cents( or pence even)
Thank you for the replies; I learned something today.
So it turns out that you don't know. Are there estimates as to how many prophets existed in total vs. the list of known prophets up until the very last?
Yes, cinnamon rolls, you are correct. Countries' names and land borders have changed over time.

This is off topic but since you asked, it is estimated that there were almost 124,000 prophets in total but only 25 of them are mentioned by name in the Quran. The first of them was Adam , the father of all human beings, and the last of them was Muhammad . Allah says that he has sent a prophet in every nation.
