11 Worst Governed Countries in The World

9. Afghanistan

Score – 18

On top of all the problems Afghanistan goes through, including now after the American war in the area ended in late 2014, the country has many issues with corruption. For our ranking, Afghanistan received points for corruption and perceived corruption. According to a 2015 report from Fiscal Times, the country was not going to manage to meet the budgetary obligations for 2016 after the domestic revenue dropped. Revenues that account for the country’s domestic revenue had been stolen, so Afghanistan is left high and dry.
