Wikipedia noted that according to Fund for Peace, a country has failed if it has lost hold of its territory, “or of the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force therein, erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions, inability to provide public services, inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community.
Other countries listed as failed states include; Syria, Myanmar, Central African Republic, Rwanda, Liberia, Yugoslavia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Sudan and South Sudan.
