Haiti is definitely a contender for the worst country right now.

North Korea is politically extreme but if you keep your mouth shut, the state provides for you somewhat (especially in the army) and there is virtually zero crime. The lack of political freedom does not matter when there are other countries where most citizens cannot feed themselves and are at risk everyday of rape and/or death.

Edit:
Actually after doing some research, these countries might be even worse: Central African Republic, Niger, South Sudan, and Chad.

I forgot to add Burundi to the list.

Anyways I live in a developing country and I can tell you all straight that many people here would not mind a dictatorship if it gives them food and safety. I work for a company that pays some of its farm workers 0.46USD a day doing hard manual labor so I have come face to face with extreme poverty. When every day is a struggle to survive, political concerns become irrelevant.

Worst in what respect? The country with the worst economy might not have the worst culture and so on. People's definition of the "worst" will vary according to their priorities.

Sudan or Afghanistan... In short, a place where there is religious fundamentalism, but no electricity, medicine, running water, modern technology, libraries, or other benefits of civilization.

And before the anti-feudal and anti-clerical revolutions, it was the same in Europe.

Afghanistan is pretty bad, but I like how they're not allowing their women enough freedoms to result in common manipulation tactics that are often seen amongst women in developed countries. But the Taliban goes too far in not letting their women enough independence to do grocery shopping and other things a household needs.

Are you seriously saying that Donald Trump will make America worse off than Somalia? Because he didn't do it in 2017. You're overestimating how bad Trump will be and underestimating how bad Somalia is.

'Dystopian economic policy' is when you transform one of the poorest countries in the world into an affluent, high-income country, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty.

Huh, and here I thought my life was pretty good when I was growing up there and I lacked for nothing. Crazy how that isn't true simply because you said so.

A grey rain falls on Revachol. The city soaks in it, cold and dripping. Waves hit the concrete breakers. The homeless huddle by the fires behind the fences. There, among the shacks, is your home. Stay. Have a drink. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

The objective worst countries to live in are those that have no organization or infrastructure - those in total chaos, like, off the top of my head, Haiti, Somalia, etc.
