Countries Most Likely to Collapse in the Upcoming Future

Created by Vanessa Cooper Staff · May 2024 · Updated Jul 2024

Countries most likely to face political, economic, or social collapse in the coming decades, ranked by instability indicators. This isn't fearmongering — it's analysis based on debt levels, political polarization, demographic crises, resource depletion, and institutional decay.

Some entries are obvious (nations currently in civil war or under sanctions). Others are surprising — wealthy nations with aging populations and unsustainable pension systems face slow-motion crises. Climate change threatens island nations and coastal economies. The community weighs immediate threats against long-term structural problems. Vote based on evidence, not political bias.
