The Soviet Union and N. Korea, for starters. Spain is a failure. Italy is a failure. Portugal is a failure.
Your list is a non sequitur. Since when is sovereign debt default the only measure of a failed state?
Just plain ignorant.

Ok, why don't you tell us what Simplicitry meant by "fail" since you clearly know?
Here's another list to ponder:
List of countries by Failed States Index
The countries at the top of the list (in the best shape) are:
Finland
Norway
Sweden
Switzerland
Denmark
New Zealand
Ireland
Luxembourg
Austria
Canada
Australia
Netherlands
Most of these would be countries that Simplicitry dislikes.
His statement needs to be backed up. Anyone can make a generic statement about anything if they don't back it up.

Another bullshit list
Quote:
This is a list of countries by order of appearance in the Failed States Index of the United States think-tank Fund for Peace. A failed state has several attributes. 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; sharp economic decline. Since 2005, the index has been published annually by the Fund for Peace and the magazine Foreign Policy.[1]
Ireland is just behind Finland Norway and Sweden and 3 others, out of 177. Ireland is fucking broke and cornholed.

My first list was a list of countries that defaulted on their debt. You didn't like that list and said "since when is sovereign debt default the only measure of a failed state?" so I gave you another list that measured a lot more. Now you're saying you don't like it because Ireland is broke, and that's what matters.
Please state what counts as a failed state to you, and include the countries that meet your definition, as I have done. Until you do that, you can't claim your fantasy list of failed countries is more relevant than a real list.

You haven't done anything other than copy and paste wikipedia. Typical scholar of your generation? I hope not.
Failed states
USSR
N Korea
Greece
Italy
Spain
Portugal
Ireland
Iceland
My opinion. Some are already defunct, some are getting there and some are maybe recovering. Bond rating agencies mostly agree.

So one's own opinion of facts trumps Wikipedia facts. I'll remember that one in future arguments.
By the way, you didn't list any of the African countries. Do you think they're all doing better than the ones you listed?

What wikipedia facts? The one that doesn't list the Soviet Union as a failed state? The African countries are fucked. They probably always will be.
