2. Congo 

Total land area (sq km): 2,344,858

With a long history of experiencing conflicts, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) ranks second in the list of biggest countries on the do not travel list. The travel advisory has given a rating of level 3 to Congo, mainly due to the high crime rate and civil unrest. On top of that, some areas in the country have an increased risk of assaults which the local law enforcement is unable to respond to due to lack of resources. The advisory has marked the North Kivu province, Ituri province, eastern DRC region, and the three Kasai provinces (Kasai, Kasai-Oriental, Kasai-Central) as do not travel zones.
