11. Afghanistan
Ever since the Taliban took power, Afghanistan has been in a downward spiral from which there seems to be no escape. Contrary to popular belief, the Taliban didn’t just spring up one beautiful day. They were armed by the United States and Pakistan to counter the growing presence of the then Soviet Union in the area. However, the Taliban turned out to be disobedient (which must have been a huge surprise for those arming people with extremist ideologies), and Afghanistan is yet to recover.
