Countries That Shouldn't Exist

These are the countries that should just become a part of another country because it doesn't fit the criteria of being a country well.
The Top Ten
1 Macedonia North Macedonia is a landlocked southeastern European country. It borders Greece to the south, Albania to the west, Bulgaria to the east, and Serbia and Kosovo to the north. It has a population of over 2 million people which are a mixture of Macedonians, Albanians, and Serbians. Macedonian is the official language of the country. North Macedonia has many beautiful forests, lakes, and old structures. The capital city is Skopje.

Not so true, Look at your opinions about my country, maybe we are the poorest,weakest nation in all of Europe but we have rich History,Nice people, Great Food... Just Because of the countries that we share border want to remove us off from the World Map.. Well even thought if it was about it can't be done.. Because Donald Trump is running for Office,Sorry idiots that things that you wish it could be done for this peacefully country can't be done since Trump will be running for President!

There are Bulgarians ( look at their language an their culture they have so many things in common than any other country ). Unfortunately for political reasons they named therselves Macedonians... Just like the ANCIENT (not slavic) greekspeaker nation of Macedonia. So today the want to bane the greeks from their own nation (the Greek state of Macedonia) and make it their own empire! It is a nation without history and they won't have a great future in this world!

This country was part of Yugoslavia till 1991 and just in one day they became Macedonians! They are Slavic with Slavic language and they got no similarities with Macedonians and Macedonia is only a part from Greece with Greek people!

They are literally bulgarians that believe they have something that differentiates them from the rest

2 Somalia Somalia, officially the Federal Republic of Somalia, is a country in the Horn of Africa. The country is bordered by Ethiopia to the west, Djibouti to the northwest, the Gulf of Aden to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, and Kenya to the southwest. Somalia has the longest coastline on Africa's ...read more.

Give Somaliland recognition!

I am not even African-whatsoever, but I read the Somaliland and its rival Puntland are functionally independent but are somehow lumped with ex-state which coudl barely police its own capital.

They hate us! They hate us Americans and have wanted to bomb us but they're too poor. They're friends with Eritrea.

Here's a guide to survive in Somalia!

Step 1: Be a pirate
Step 2: You're still gonna die from STDs, famine, and the UN

It was stable when we had 25,000 marines parked there, but the UN pussed out and chaos ensued.

3 Canada Canada is a country in North America that is next to the United States, and it's the 2nd largest country in the world by area (size is 9.985 million km²).

Its 10 provinces are: Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Prince... read more

I am canadian and it really irritates me when some Americans say Canada is not a country because we are. what the hell does the U.S know about Canada?

Canada is a great country and I don't care what Americans think about us. I know we should exist no matter what Donald Trump says.

As a Canadian, I believe there shall be no border between Canada and the USA.

4 North Korea The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, is a country in Eastern Asia. Its capital is Pyongyang. It is currently ruled by the Juche leader Kim Jong-Un, after inheriting the title from his father, Kim Jong-Il, who in turn inherited it from his father, Kim Il-Sung.

North Korea's population as of February 18th, 2017 is 25,360,273.

It's own people are practically enslaved to a chubby self obsessed cheese addict, they do not benefit the world in any way. This country is truly pathetic all around.

What a stupid excuse of a country. Through it's history of dictators, it's terrible. Let South Korea buy half of the country, no wait, the ENTIRE country.

To cruel to be a country they do not need to claim the whole Korean peninsula and why are they so protective of Kim jong un and Kim il sun they are both dead now but why are they so protective.

An entire North Korean family gets tortured while Kim Jong-Un eats a cheeseburger for 15 minutes.

5 India India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Its capital is New Delhi. Some other major cities are Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahemdabad. ...read more.

India should not exist as human right are very sick in India. According to my own research, India itself has divided into different categories.. On The basis of Religion, ( Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christians, Buddhism and Jainism. On the Basis of Language, Culture, History. The biggest religion in India is Hinduism which claim all India is their property. More than 1.2 billion of population from which 75% are forces to live under poverty line. Hindu Religion which claim whole India is their property itself divide its followers into different categories such as Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, the Vaishyas and the Shudras. Brahmins are believed most respected, and Shudras are most hated. Human right violations are very common here in India. You can imagine in different states there are different rules on the basis of religion and culture a little fight can go for dreadful riots Eating Cow is prohibited in India and several incidents are available for killing minorities. Followers of same ...more

A bunch of different nationalities united together. India should just be a geographical region like Europe. India should be split up into Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat, etc.

What's really surprising is how long India has existed in peace with all the different religious and ethnic groups that divided India for centuries.

I kind of miss it when india was a bunch of different states, but it is still a beautiful country even though they defecate in the street

6 Iran Iran, also known as Persia, officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a sovereign state in Western Asia. The capital city is Teheran and the major city is also Tehran. The country's official language is Persian.

Nonsense. I do not like the current regime, but unlike most of its neighbours, it forms a natural country.

Iran had the first power in the world for long time why it shouldn't be exist?!

Iran India afgahistan Pakistan and tajiki should for an aryan union

7 Netherlands The Netherlands, informally Holland, is a country located in north-western Europe with overseas territories in the Caribbean. It is the largest of four constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Netherlands consists of twelve provinces, and borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, with a North Sea coast-line to the north and west. It shares maritime borders with the United Kingdom, Germany, and Belgium in the North Sea. The country's official language is Dutch, with West Frisian as a secondary official language in the province of Friesland. Dutch Low Saxon and Limburgish are recognised regional languages, while Dutch Sign Language, Sinte Romani, and Yiddish are recognised ...read more.

Netherlands has opened their borders, they mixed with many cultures and now there is no modern Dutch culture(it is actually mix of some for example Dutch sounds like mix of German and English). There is nothing special about them, actually it's another modern, tolerant country. So why do the Netherlands exist?

I am Dutch myself and I'm adding the Netherlands to this list. I absolutely hate Dutch people.

I am Dutch! Why is this on the list?

8 Montenegro

The people speak serbian,they used to call them selves serbs untill 10 years ago and the first serbian state was in the place of montenegro called zeta.Basically it's the original serbia.

Well I wouldn't really lived without Montenegro

Montenegro is just Serbia but with coastline

That name is too racist

9 Vatican City Vatican City, officially Vatican City State or the State of Vatican City, is a walled enclave within the city of Rome. It is the smallest nation on Earth, and is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church.

Vatican City shouldn't be a country because it's a religious/political entity but it isn't a cultural/ethnic entity. The population is very low and the city is entirely surrounded by Italy. I believe the Vatican City should either be classified as an Italian territory or as an independent territory (but not a country). In my opinion, Vatican City is on-par with entities such as Google Headquarters and Bill Gates's house.

It is not a stupid and useless country this is the country where Pope Francis lives and it is where the center of the huge catholic denomination is.It is the holy catholic city that is home to the pope and probably the second biggest denomination of Christianity after Protestants

I think it would be more reasonable to go with Italy and just have some sort of special status... But the main reason is History, there is a CGP Grey video on it somewhere in YouTube.

This gets my vote because it is basically a country inside a country. It could work for a city however.

10 Iraq Iraq, officially the Republic of Iraq, is a country in Western Asia. ...read more.

Before Bush invaded, Iraq was stable, although it was under control by a murderous dictator, it was nevertheless, stable. Even if groups like ISIS came to Saddam's Iraq, his military would've killed them by now. But Bush invaded them making Iraq unstable, poor, robbed, and is full of ISIS militants now. Thanks Bush! For making the Middle East even more unstable!

Iraq as we know it is a country formed by the mistakes of western foreign policy and imperialism, combining three ethic groups that all hate each other. Iraq, as a state now, as it is, should not exist.

Yea I guess its kinda done done know if you should put that worthless black flag since american imperalism but it will prolly be part of israel eventually.

Iraq should be part of Iran because of all this stuff

The Contenders
11 Kosovo Kosovo, officially the Republic of Kosovo, is a partially recognised state in Southeastern Europe. It lies at the centre of the Balkans, occupying an area of 10,887 km2 (4,203 sq mi), with a population of 1.8 million; and is bordered by the uncontested territory of Serbia to the north and east, North Macedonia to the southeast, Albania to the southwest, and Montenegro to the west. Kosovo unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008 and has since gained diplomatic recognition as a sovereign state by 98 member states of the United Nations. Most of central Kosovo is dominated by the vast plains and fields of Metohija and Kosovo. The Accursed Mountains and Šar Mountains ...read more.

A monstrosity created by Albanian colonization, and of course, with the aid of the US in order to rip apart even more territory from Serbia just so they can build an army base there.

Kosovo is a government lie.
Kosovo je Srbija and it always will be.
I would of voted for Montenegro or Palestine but Kosovo is the biggest ass out of all of them.

Serbia should take the Serb parts and Albania should annex all the rest, then together they can be the poorest country in Europe.

Albanians became a majority in Kosovo since they expelled Serbs from the area for years, and the Turks before them. KOSOVO IS Serbia, man!

12 Austria Austria was Celtic (Hallstadt) then as Noricum, part of the Roman Empire, Alaric, who took over Rome, studied at a monastery near Vienna. In the Middle Ages, the Holy Roman Emperors moved to Vienna, then Austria became separate. Medieval documents from Eastern Europe as far as West Ukraine were often in German, and referred to Vienna, showing its influence well before the Austrian Empire. After the first World War, Austria became a small country, under 10 million population, but including the world's then 4th largest city. 'A big head on a small body' they said. In 1938 Hitler invaded his home country and imposed Naziism. Vienna was then the World's largest Jewish centre, many famous people, ...read more.

Started two world wars and pinned the blame on Germany

Protected areas such as Cross River National Park and Yankari National Park have waterfalls, dense rainforest, savanna, and rare primate habitats. One of the most recognizable sites is Zuma Rock, a 725m-tall ...read more.

Nigeria is an unstable underdeveloped country. Kidnapping, terrorism, corruption, and other crimes are very rampant in Nigeria. Nigeria also has the most extremely poor people in the world, showing that its economy is abysmal. This disgusting poor excuse of a country must not exist.

Nothing there but slums, terrorists, kidnappers, and other criminals.

15 Israel Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia. It is situated on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea, and shares borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest; it is also bordered by the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to the east and west,... read more

First they are a bunch of people with different nationalities who believe their ancestors lived in that land, so a Hungarian Jew who may e have been originally a pagan should live on a country his or her ancestors didn't know existed?

I am not saying all Israelis are bad, I am just saying the bad Israelis are influencing the good ones into hating Palestine, Israel should become part of Palestine and Palestine should influence the Israelis into becoming good people.

Why isn't this higher. They forced the Palestinians out of their homes. They should of made Israel in Europe were people would of supported it.

China spans five geographical time zones and borders 14 countries, the second most of any country in the world after Russia. Covering an area ...read more.

China is polluted and gross. the people food and culture are beautiful and unique but their pollution is selfish and horrible and killing the whole world!

China has become to polluted, maybe they should make it nuclear testing land and move everyone out.

This makes even less sense than to say that Iran should not exist.

China should be just as popular as Australia.But all the Chinese people move to New Zealand

18 United States of America The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, 48 of them are contiguous states.

"involved in way too many wars." Really lets look at the facts the wars that the US has been involved in Revolutionary war, War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish-American War, WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnamese war, War in Iraq. OK about 6 out of 8 of those France was involved in. France Actually invaded Vietnam to re-control it before the US did anything. Umm Korean war was a UN Sanctioned war, where we were forced into.

Next stupid comment: "US of A doesn't even have an ancient history. It's just a "country" made by colonizers and some migrants, not a country with their original language, race, and identity. IT'S A STOLEN LAND! " So all the South/ Central American Countries, Mexico, Canada, and all the Caribbean countries should not be allowed to be countries. We fought our independence from the British and we where the only British colony to do so.

USA is not a country. If a person from Europe visited USA and somebody asked them what country they are from then they would say whitch country they lived in like say Germany or Austria or Hungary. But if some person from the states visited like say Canada or Europe they would say whitch state. Of course Canadians would know which country because unlike fatass American turds who have uncontrollable gun laws and their IQ is 97 while the average is 100. But if they visited Europe and said which state say like Georgia maybe they would not know. Georgie county or Georgia U.S state? I would say if I was European would be this. Please be for specific. Kinder surprise eggs are banned there because fatass Spoiled brat whiny stupid American children would just eat it all in one gulp. Call me butthurt if you wan't but just know I am right and you are wrong. I hate USA.
