Here’s one type that’s not typically discussed – a country with NO GOVERNMENT. I confess that I hadn’t really considered this an option until I started learning about the recent outburst of Somali pirating.
Somalia has no functioning government, and the warlords in the various regions do not have the capacity to deal with stopping piracy. Somalia needs more help from the United Nations and the African Union “to try to deal with some of the economic and governance problems that lead to the pirates,” Morrell said.
When your country has no functioning government, security becomes a really difficult issue.
