Countries With the Worst Laws

The Top Ten
1 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... read more

If you enter North Korea, you will be arrested for calling it North Korea. You have to call it the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Voting is compulsory from the age of 17, and it's a one-party system. It's proof that there is a hell, and it's North Korea.

These are North Korea's rules:
Nuke America
No leaving
No jeans
No internet
No playing Minecraft
No breathing
Cry like a baby when Kim Jong Il dies
Starve to death
No freedom
No making even one tiny mistake
No memes
No everything

It is bordered... read more

Women are treated poorly. They aren't even allowed to ride bikes or drive. It doesn't help that the US is supporting them by buying oil.

Religious freedom is just horrible in Saudi Arabia.

Very draconian, especially towards gays and women.

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

A failed state filled with overpopulated village idiots, dishonest swindling traders, pollution, bureaucrats, and a useless, self-serving, inbred government. In India, women and children are mistreated and abused regularly with no protection from useless authorities. Even cows are treated much better. Boycott India because it is not a tourist-friendly country. Go to the Far East Asian countries instead, like Vietnam, Thailand, or Japan.

Indian law says removing bulls' testicles without anesthesia, branding with a hot iron, using them for loading and transport, and killing for food are not cruel. But bull taming is cruel.

Two lakh Indians who are in jail do not know why they are in jail.

4 Sri Lanka Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and known from the beginning of British colonial rule until 1972 as Ceylon, is an island country in South Asia near south-east India.

Are you kidding me!? Sri Lanka has the worst laws in the whole solar system, if not the whole universe! With the blend of its horrendously abominable culture, Sri Lanka has the most diabolically atrocious laws known to mankind. The lawyers are abjectly corrupt. As innocent locals, we have to buy them whiskey and brandy if we want to win lawsuits.

The lawsuits, especially when it comes to land and property, waste more time than in any other country on the surface of this planet. They can take 50 to 100 years to finish a single lawsuit! The great-grandson of the poor plaintiff would be dead by the time of the verdict.

Most importantly, by 2012 (the latest news of the country), the Chief Justice was also corrupt! Need more to convince you of the obnoxiously abhorrent law in Sri Lanka?

5 China China, officially known as the People's Republic of China, is a country located in East Asia. It is the world's second most populous country, boasting a population of more than 1.4 billion. China spans five geographical time zones and shares its borders with 14 countries, making it second only to Russia... read more

There is absolutely no freedom of speech in the mainland. Many Chinese tech companies have to support the CCP, and it's absolutely mandatory. Looking at you, TikTok, Huawei, and Tencent. The CCP spies on everyone around the world. If you talk about the Xinjiang genocide, the independence of Hong Kong or Taiwan, or freedom of speech, they'd be on your tail in less than a second. The Chinese government is extremely scary.

Autocratic, patrimonial government that sees its citizens as livestock to keep in the dark and to keep quiet.

6 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 of Pakistan. Urdu and English are the official languages of Pakistan. The world's second-highest peak (K-2) and ninth highest peak (Nanga Parbat)... read more

Pakistan should be first. Just hate this country!

They treat their dogs better than they treat their women.

There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from the... read more

The U.S. legal system is less of a system and more of a hodgepodge of mixed opinions from racist, old white males. We have federal, state, county, city, and local laws which sometimes come in direct conflict with one another.

Each state competes with others to vie for business at the expense of its citizens. We have some laws that are completely unenforceable or outdated, while other laws are strictly enforced with huge penalties for minor acts. The laws that are enforced are mainly on the poor, while wealthy individuals can literally get away with murder.

12 South Africa South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa. It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana... read more
13 United Kingdom The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly shortened to United Kingdom, UK or Britain is a Sovereign State located of the Northwestern coast of Europe. It is a Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy currently lead by Monarch Queen Elizabeth II and its current prime minister is... read more

The UK courts are corrupt! Judges do what they want, and police think they can do and say what they want. Things need to change.

I still cannot figure out the situation with freedom of speech in this country.

Health and safety put to extreme levels. Awful education minister.

14 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

Just overall one of the worst countries in the world. I'd rather live in North Korea than this hellhole.

They have no laws. They have no government. All they have is torture, crime, and terrorism.

One of the most useless governments in the world.

15 Afghanistan Afghanistan, officially the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is a landlocked country located at the crossroads of Central and South Asia. Referred to as the Heart of Asia, it is bordered by Pakistan to the east and south, Iran to the west, Turkmenistan to the northwest, Uzbekistan to the north, Tajikistan... read more

They treat women horribly. Women can't drive, go out by themselves, go to school, and are allowed to be raped by their husbands. They can't even use the same doors. There is one door for women and one for men. They cannot show anything in public except their eyes. Also, if you critique the Muslim religion, you will be killed. If you criticize the Afghan lifestyle, you will be killed. Women will be killed if they disobey men. Your parents have to choose your wife or husband, and you usually marry cousins.

16 Indonesia Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia, is a country in Southeast Asia. Ruled by the Dutch for over 300 years and Japan for 3 years and 6 months, the country gained independence in 1945, or exactly in 17th August 1945.
