Let's talk artificial countries.
First (of course) we have Afghanistan. A people at war for the last 30 years or more. A people that has been rampaged by numerous wars, Russia for (simple) starters, did not succeed in taming the wild bunch. The US, aided by NATO, did not succeed in bringing peace. Now the president -Karzai- wants everybody foreign OUT while he has his elections. Billions have been spent by foreign forces to ensure.... WHAT .... PEACE?... don't make me laugh, and the opium still finances the Taliban in their effort to subdue 50 or more %% of their people, Wasted money, wasted energy. Get out while you can.
Second (of course) is Belgium, a country so divided that even words cannot prevent its utter destruction as a nation (beware of the language spoken). Nitwits rule as thoughts run wild. Anyone can see that half the nation is french, the other half is dutch/flamish and a few percentage points are german. Need I say more: this country is doomed and has IMHO no right to exist.
Third is China. The biggest economic force of the last decade and more. I proposed an idea some 20 years ago: The gest of it all was that Shanghai would soon be the financial economic capital of the world within years. Everybody laughed. Are they laughing now? But China is not A country. It is at least 3 or more countries. First it has two economic systems (capitalist enclaves and a rural, poor, communist 'backbone'. Second it has four or more languages, although they succeeded in holding on to one WRITTEN language. Third their are numerous minorities, of which Tibet and Oigur-country are the best known. Fourth they themselves think the country is incomplete without Taiwan. Think of a few other critical elements yourself.
Fourth is Denmark. They showed the world - cartoon-wise - that we are not willing to bow for extremist Allah-people. Allah-people are rather insensitive to humour. They only believe in their self-interest, so they do not condone cartoons that humour their holy boy Mohammed. Denmark however does not know how to cope and really wants to forget its Muslim inhabitants. Above all they want to remain the exception people in Europe. Everything the EU proposes gets 'undone' in Denmark. They are not really a EU member state. They want to be forgotten altogether.
Fifth is England or, as it is better known: the UK, with their silly British £, the laughing stock of international currencies. Remember Northern Rock? Remember RBS? Remember all the financial disasters the UK had to cope with. Then you know what I mean. If not: Google is your friend. The UK is Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Island and these ministates are so different that they can easily be compared to Belgium. Need I say more?
Sixth is Finland, only I do not know why. Enlighten me.
Seventh is Greece. Their crimes are endless. They should NOT have been a EURO country in the first place, but were admitted by morons that could not distinguish real from corrupt. Shame on them. Shame on the EURO, it should never have started including Greece. Greek politics is really about two rivalling families that have continually traded places in government (including a junta dictatorship) through the years. Greek food is really Turkish. Greece cheats its people, is corrupt and undermines the euro, helped by other EU states that will not confront them or exile them.
Eighth is Hungary. Started out as a non-believer in Soviet ideology (since 1956) but never acquired financial maturity until 2010 (and further). Get lost!
Nineth is Italy. Especially under the de-brilliant guidance of Berlusconi, this country -economically- continues to prove it's poor performance by promising it's citizens golden pensions and doing nothing spectacular about it's corruption, Maffia/Camorra in every major part of the land. Italy is the rich north and the poor south plus Sicily which is not centrally controlled for decades and remains to act as an independant substate.
Tenth is Japan that suffers from a 30 year depression that seems to recover - but does not - from it, and still thinks that prosperity for all is around the corner. Japan is completely dependant on exports and imports. They have no wealth of their own except industrial design and intelligence. They cannot make enemies (anymore) so they are not friends of anyone either. If they take a stand in any political matter, they might be cut of from importing or exporting goods. In fact Japan is an enterprise, not a nation.
Eleventh is Kazakhstan that has enough oil to make it a leading energy nation, but blunders to transform into a neat economy.
Twelfth is Lichtenstein, that has bank laws preventing any kind of control by third parties, thus rendering the country into a rogue state. With the gradual breakdown of bank secrecy, the country will automatically cease to exist when western countries desire so.
Thirteenth is Mozambique, our saviour, Willem-Alexander (of the Netherlands) tried to build himself a summer residence there. The country itself is destitute of nearly everything and does not count on any scale.
Fourteenth is the Netherlands. They are condemned for having a PM as Balkenende (what's in a name) for the last decade during which he holds the record of never saying ANYTHING during interviews and still being admired (by some 20% of the populace). For the rest they are to be compared to Japan, with the exception of them not being a producer country as Japan is. The Netherlands trade, as they have done for the last 500 years and they trade well. Economically the country is completely dependant on Germany of which it is its so-many-eth province.
Fifteenth is Oman, but I really do NOT know why.
Sixteenth is Portugal. Not that they did too much wrong, but they surely are one of the poorest countries within the EU, and that is something NOT to be proud of. They once were a great nation, depending for wealth on their (South American) colonies, but nowadays they hide behind the mountains in the Iberic peninsula. But they do make great wines and ports.
Seventeenth is Qatar for bailing out Dubai in their venture to be the one country to beat the desert with offering luxury housing on artificial land. Dubai has no oil to sell and nowadays a lot of unsellable houses and offices. Qatar is a banker/oil trader, not a state.
Eighteenth is Russia for letting their country fall into the hands of Chicagoan economists that transformed their economy into a replica of the US of A. The Soviet Union, their political predecessor, had a lot to offer but desintegrated as a result of communist party mismanagement and crimes against humanity. The political transformation has given rise to a caste of criminals obtaining Russian wealth, spending it in Spain and Thailand. Think about it for a while: in Russia former criminals rule as the country changed from communism into capitalism. It makes perfect sense because criminals have always understood the essence of competition: silencing those that threaten your (power) position. Russia is no nation. It is an open prison without judges and ruled by criminals.
Nineteenth is Serbia and Montenegro for destroying their country only to guarantee renewed tourism to blossum, and nothing else. It will break down into still smaller countries depending on the power of ethnicity. Suppose they try to enter the EU. Suppose they will be flooded with EU 'laws' that prohibit ethnic 'cleansing'. How long will it take for them to realise that such a superstate structure is contrary to their sole wishes?
Twentieth is Turkey for continually refusing to acknowledge their genocide of the Arminian people and not even accepting any reference to that. For being a secular state but ruled by Erdogan continually displaying Muslim favoritism. Turkey IS trying to enter the EU. Turkey IS still at war with Greece over Cyprus. Turkey has a Koerdish minority that wants their own -ethnic- state. Turkey is split up between a european and an asian part. All reasons mentioned here mean nothing when Turkey will end talks on EU membership, BUT they mean everything when they persist. Then Turkey will fall apart (as it should).
Twenty-firstth is the United States of America whose intention still is to rule the world where the world has gone two generations beyond. No more US ruling of international politics, no more superficial control of the once famous US$. The USA is a state that needs ongoing economic growth, ongoing brainwashing of their citizens to always behave as consumers demanding more and more each day. In short the USA is an enterprise, not a nation.
Twenty-secondth is Vietnam, the sucker of world (=US) politics. My neighbour goes there all the time and all is well, but numerous 1000-s have lost their lives thinking they lived a good life, only never to be understood.
Twenty-thirth is Western Samoa that is victim to the earth's warming climate. Their existence depends solely on equilibrium: no more rising sea levels. They will lose.
Twenty-fourth is Yugoslavia: a lost cause. Divided into numerous countries they have nothing left of their historical grandeur. Nice to visit though, beit to to 10 different country-like countries. A set of countries divided along the lines ethnicity. Not a (set of) nation(s), but a set of fence-bordered mono-ethnic suburbs, that reintroduced APARTHEID where the rest of the world (?) tries to get rid of that policy.
Zimbabwe is our Twenty-fifth state (omitting the twenty sixth X-country) carrying 10.000ths of inflation %%, we have here a state that is not a state. It solely depends on the US$ for money, has an idiot for president, no economy to speak of, a bleak future full of hunger, sickness, hate and pure undiluted stupidity.
These are the 25/26 idiot countries that do not deserve to be called 'states'. They are truly artificial states.
