Experts at the Institute of Economics and Peace (IEP) ranked 162 countries according to 23 criteria. Among them: terrorist activity, the country's participation in internal or external conflicts, the justice system, the number of prisoners, the number of police per unit of population, political stability and defense spending. The more points a country gains, the more terrible it is to live in it.

Introducing you the most non-peace-loving countries of the world. Russia is on the 11th line of the rating.

We also published the most peace-loving countries, Iceland topped the list.

10. North Korea

After the collapse of the USSR, an economic crisis began in North Korea, as a result of which several hundred thousand people died of hunger. About a quarter of all Korean children are still underweight. At the same time, spending on the army and defense industry is extremely high. Not the most militarized country, but on occasion can "rattle arms."

9. Pakistan

During the Afghan war, military and training camps of the Mujahideen were located in Pakistan. Until now, the borders adjacent to Afghan territory are practically not controlled by Pakistani forces.

8. Democratic Republic of the Congo

In 2012, recognized as the poorest state in the world. Its rulers considered the country, first of all, as a means of personal enrichment. President Mobutu Sese Seko appropriated about $ 5 billion during his reign. Gangs of looters roam the country, robbing, killing and raping. Cases of cannibalism have been observed.

7. Sudan

During the British rule, the borders of this colony were drawn along parallels and meridians, not taking into account the religious and historical differences between the peoples living in these territories. After independence was declared in 1956, armed conflicts broke out between the Arab North and the Negroid South, until the separation of South Sudan in 2011.

6. Somalia

Since 1988, a civil war has been going on in the country, which began as a protest against the dictatorship and led to the collapse of the state, the inter-clan feudal heyday of piracy. In the south, Mujahideen of Islamic groups oppose the allied government forces, and the north is controlled by the unrecognized republic of Somaliland.

5. Central African Republic

In this country, a tyrant, a sadist and an eater, Colonel Jean-Bedel Bokassa, ruled alone for 15 years. After his overthrow, a series of coups d'etat began, amid growing social instability and a deteriorating economic situation. The average life expectancy in the CARs is only 50 years.

4. South Sudan

The long war between the north and south of Sudan led to a humanitarian disaster. Drought, famine, lack of fuel, poorly developed healthcare system and an ever-expanding zone of military confrontation forced many people to flee to neighboring countries.

3. Afghanistan

Since 1978, the country has not stopped the civil war. At first, Afghanistan turned into an arena of conflict between the USSR and the USA. After the departure of Soviet troops, the Taliban Islamic group came to power, during the reign of which a record amount of narcotic substances was produced in Afghanistan. After the September 11 attacks, the United States brought troops into Afghanistan, causing a new round of civil war.

2. Iraq

Another country that has experienced the consequences of September 11th. US President George W. Bush said Iraq supports international terrorism and is working to create weapons of mass destruction. In 2003, after the invasion of the forces of the international coalition, a civil war broke out in the country. She goes to this day. But weapons of mass destruction were not found.

1. Syria

The most aggressive country in the world. For several years, Syria experienced an unprecedented drought, which caused tremendous internal stress. In March 2011, speeches began with demands to change the existing regime. Anti-government troops supported the United States, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and the Syrian government - Iran, Russia, North Korea and Venezuela. Currently, the war in the country continues. The losses from the sanctions amounted to 4 billion dollars, 3.9 million Syrians left the most dangerous country in the world.
