A failed state is known as a state that has failed at some of the simple conditions and responsibilities of a government. They are also described as places that have lost control of their territory, cannot provide public services, and are not able to interact with other states. Over a 1 billion people over the world live in these areas. Weak government, corruption, and little control are common in failing states.
There are many ways that countries can become failed states such as civil wars, natural disasters, or if the citizens of that country revolt. Violence, and lack of resouces ar just two things that can happen when a country is in a failed state. Geography can also make a country more vulnerable. The top ten list of faile states is Somalia, Congo, Sudan, Chad, Zimbabwe, Afganistan, Haiti, Yemen, Iraq, and Central African Republic.
I am glad that the United states is a stable country, and we have a solid government. Living in a failed state would be very dangerous, and I am happy that I don't live in one.
