And why?

Assume you're poor, and don't have a high social status either.

re option 5: the DRC seems like definitely the worst country in the world to live in (worse than any of these)

I eventually opted for Somalia and Afghanistan. I'm under the impression that Somalia is ever so slowly being rebuilt from its "failed state" status, and Afghanistan, well...

The other two were simply so bad I couldn't choose them.

By far Syria as long as I'm outside an immediate combat zone.

Agreed, but those places may not be many. About a quarter of Syria's population has been displaced.

Yeah, all of Syria is a warzone (at least the parts where humans tend to live and interact):

Somalialand* seems to be not horrible....or at least not as horrible as the other options.  I'm sure one could find a corner of Afghanistan that isn't sh**t too.



*plus it sounds like a theme park!

Voted Syria (as long as I'm in a stable Loyalist zone), but otherwise would vote North Korea.

Tough choice but probably there are some African states worse than any of these (DRC and Zimbabwe are the most obvious answers).
