A failed state is a state that either has failed some of the basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government. A civil war, leaders lose control over their own territory, natural disaster, or brutal takeover can cause a failed state. It could also be from ones government not willing to provide service to the country. Even countries that are rich in natural resources don’t come out ahead.Good governance is one of the most important points to ensure that a state is as stable as they could possibly be. People may argue over the actual definition of a "failed state", but the best people to ask about a country being a failed state, is the people OF that country. Normally each country has its own reason for becoming a failed state.Somalia has been at the top of charts for a several years in a row mostly because it failed in all of the dimensions. Columbia is also considered a failed state because they couldn’t control all the things that were going on in its rural areas, and not to mention the drug cartels. Other failed states are Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Iraq has never made it out of the top ten. There are a few countries that are trying to get out of the hole that they’ve been in. Mogadishu has been at a relative peace for two decades. Even though it is taking a very long time they are making great progress! Two other countries who have had remarkable success in turning their country around are India, and South Africa.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_statehttp://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2009/09/failing-nations/draper-text/1links to my pictures- http://www.acus.org/files/images/failed-states-index-map-cropped.jpghttps://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/graphics/maps/newmaps/so-map.gif
