List of countries by Fragile States Index

Common indicators include a state whose central government is so weak or ineffective that it has little practical control over much of its territory; non-provision of public services; widespread corruption and criminality; refugees and involuntary movement of populations; and sharp economic decline.

The list has been cited by journalists and academics in making broad comparative points about countries or regions.
