Countries Most Likely to Collapse in the Upcoming Future

This is an opinion only. These are the ones I think will collapse.

1. Russia

   

   Russia, or the Russian Federation, is a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world by area, covering 17,098,246 square kilometres (6,601,667 sq mi) and encompassing about one-eighth of Earth's inhabited land area.... read more

   Russia recently almost lost Moscow in the Wagner rebellion, which might chain with way more revolts in the country. The Russo-Ukrainian war hit the morale of Russians. Not only that, but their economy is bust. They have a smaller GDP than Canada. The population has also been declining since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and half of their country is an ice cube from October to February.

   Feel free to argue.

2. Pakistan

   

   Pakistan was established in 1947 and is located in South Asia. Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan. Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar are other major cities. Urdu and English are the official languages of Pakistan. The world's second-highest peak (K2) and ninth-highest peak (Nanga Parbat) are located... read more

   Pakistan is facing numerous challenges. The country is beset by enemies and is in a constant state of unrest. Frequent power outages and riots exacerbate the situation. The fact that Pakistan maintains the second-largest army does not help, given its current state.

   I also feel that their military power is overrated. It's hard to believe they rank as the seventh strongest considering the ongoing protests. Feel free to argue.

   Pakistan is grappling with serious issues. The country is rife with terrorism and ethnic conflicts. Moreover, it is linguistically diverse, with around five major languages, and has yet to see a Prime Minister complete a full term in office.

   I believe Pakistan is a very underdeveloped country. If significant improvements are not made soon, it is likely to collapse.

3. Iran

   

   Iran, also known as Persia and officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a sovereign state in Western Asia. Its capital and largest city is Tehran, and its official language is Persian.

   Iran is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the Elamite kingdoms... read more

   Iran is very close to Pakistan in terms of being likely to collapse. Iran has many rebels, like in 2022. They have sanctions, and the lack of freedom will surely destroy them in the coming future. They even have a cold war with Saudi Arabia, and the production of nukes will harm their international relations, leading to heavy sanctions.

   Feel free to argue.

4. Somalia

   

   Somalia, officially the Federal Republic of Somalia, is a country in the Horn of Africa. It 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 mainland Africa.... read more

5. China

   

   China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is the world's second-most populous country, with a population of about 1.4 billion people. China spans five geographical time zones and shares land borders with 14 countries, tying Russia for the most neighboring countries.... read more

   China's collapse is inevitable, but the exact timing is uncertain, which is why it ranks fourth. China is likely to persist for many more decades, unlike other countries on the list. The anticipated timeframe for China's collapse is between 2027 and 2050.

   The reasons include severe riots, a lack of freedom, a dysfunctional government, sanctions, and overpopulation. These factors are expected to lead to China's downfall in the future. Feel free to argue.

6. North Korea

   

   The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, is a country in East Asia. Its capital is Pyongyang. It is led by Kim Jong Un, who succeeded his father, Kim Jong Il, in 2011. Kim Jong Il had succeeded his father, Kim Il Sung, in 1994.... read more

8. Syria

   

   Syria, officially the Syrian Arab Republic, is a Western Asian country located in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Levant. It is a unitary republic that consists of 14 governorates (subdivisions) and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east and southeast... read more

   Syria has endured decades of war, bombings, explosions, and casualties. The country is burdened by heavy sanctions, recently suffered a devastating earthquake, and is currently embroiled in a civil war. These factors make Syria's collapse likely. Feel free to argue if you can.

9. India

   

   India, officially known as the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area and the most populous country in the world, with over 1.4 billion people. It's also the world's most populous democracy.... read more

   Indeed, it's India. This truth may upset some people. The population density is unbelievably high, leading to overpopulation. The country is home to many terrorists. Its political stance is also highly controversial.

   India is a melting pot of religions, including Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The traffic is chaotic, and there is widespread poverty among the population.

10. Myanmar

    

    Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is a Southeast Asian nation of more than 100 ethnic groups that borders India, Bangladesh, China, Laos, and Thailand. Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, is the country's largest city and is home to bustling markets, numerous parks and lakes, and the towering, gilded... read more

    Ukraine, very controversial. They face protests in the east from Luhansk and Donetsk. They also are in active conflict, have a bad economy, and their people are poor. The population, like Russia, has been declining since the war started.

    Feel free to argue.

Located at the crossroads between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, it is bounded to the west by the Black Sea, to the north by the Russian Federation, to the south by Turkey and Armenia, and to the southeast by Azerbaijan. The country's capital and largest... read more

    Georgia is underrated. They are very similar to Ukraine, but it isn't a full-scale war like in Ukraine. They face the threat from Russia, South Ossetia, and Abkhazia. Also, the threat from a joint invasion from Russia and Armenia is possible. So, it is likely.

    Feel free to argue.

17. Afghanistan

    

    Afghanistan, officially the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is a landlocked country located at the crossroads of Central and South Asia.
