Classic Horrible book - loved as usual by the 9 year old and educates us adults to. Based on the series of the books of the same name, this is a lively publication, written in various fonts with 'Wicked World Facts', 'Earth-shattering Facts', 'Teacher Teasers', cartoons, 'Horrible Health Warnings' Written with typical Horrible Geography humour, e. You might have heard the saying, 'It's a small world! What a load of rubbish! The world is a very big place indeed and parts of it are horrible. Although the situation is quite clear when it comes to insurgencies, which are mostly a result of a weak government being undercut, the two other cases are much more complicated. Terrorists, especially considering the discussed countries, are a cause of bad governance. Islamic extremist organizations such as ISIL, Al Qaeda, and Boko Haram although they are also connected to one another on some level are a reason for political instability, with one of their aims being the enforced implementation of their interpretation of Islamic law Sharia in the nations they are operating in. Lastly, we find it worth investigating the fourth and fifth position on the list, as they are the only countries from the Americas to be found near the top of the list. What makes Haiti and Venezuela so special that they were the only ones from their part of the world to make the top 25? Haiti , with regular protests taking place for various reasons against the government, and each of them being able to turn violent, has serious problems with government approval and lack thereof. As of early , balloting for one-third of Haiti's member Senate has been delayed since May , while municipal elections have been delayed since April With such a mess in even appointing new leadership to govern the nation, Haiti has to be considered as one of the worst-governed countries. Venezuela , on the other hand, deals with more political clashes between those powers in place, whether the ones having their will done or the officials who serve as dissidents to the ones having their way. Two opposition leaders, Maria Corina Machando and Antonio Ledezma, have been arrested and accused of being involved in a plot to kill the President Nicolas Maduro, and accused of helping plan a US-backed coup against the socialist government there. Ledezma was arrested a year after opposition protests, in which he participated, spread throughout Venezuela , leading to clashes between demonstrators and police that killed dozens of people. This is not the whole story of the Venezuelan politics, but it shows some of its problems. While all of the countries on the list are unique, they share many common problems.
