Abductively, I suspect at the moment it'd be Syria, but my assertion to that effect is heavily influenced by the current state of affairs there. In a more universal sense, I don't know what is the crappiest country in the world, but I'm sure I've not yet visited it. Here're the places I've visited, mostly to visit with school friends and/or professional colleagues, and sometimes for vacations.

Obviously, there're a lot of places I haven't been, so I'd have to say that the crappiest country in the world must be one of them. Nearly all the places I have been have their crappy bits and aspects and their not so crappy aspects. I haven't yet found something not to like in St. Barts., but it's the only place about which I can say that. As for TROTW, well, if one wants to look for what's wrong and crappy about a place, one will surely find something. That's not how I travel; I seek what's good about the place in which I find myself. After all, I don't go there to gripe about the place; that'd be a miserable way to spend my time in a place I don't live and in which I have no vested interest.
I do it too. Occasionally.
