11 Worst Governed Countries in The World

7. Somalia

Score – 22

The country taking over the seventh spot has some issues of its own. On top of the poverty that has taken over most of the country and the illegal activities taking place within its borders, Somalia has many other issues. Some of those are with corruption at all levels, as well as with perceived corruption, ranking at the bottom of both lists.

Analysis from the Wall Street Journal that was published a while back indicated that the country’s central bank is being used for private purposes with withdrawals being made for various individuals, while government programs remain on stand by as no funds are being withdrawn to implement them. What’s worse is that these funds seem to be completely untraceable which means they’ve vanished into one account or another, most likely belonging to some big name in Somalia.
