Was reading a National Geographic article about Somalia and it mentioned the Failed States Index and an excerpt of the rankings. Thought it would be interesting to see the entire list so I looked it up:

PDF:

Random snippets:
USA has a surprisingly (for me at least) bad Human Rights score.
Singapore has a really bad Delegitimization of the State score considering its overall placing.
Netherlands: Didn't expect such a high Group Grievance score. I know there is some tension though.
Uruguay and Chile: Expected an overall worse placing.
I guess some of the surprises for me were due to not informing myself.
Let the country bashing begin!!!
