There are 195 countries in the world today well we all know the country like France, England, America, Spain, Italy this country are frequently visited countries that are always talked about with their globalized pop culture.
But what about the not so touristy strange countries the ones that few people visit and know about well I did some research and found there's no exact definition of the strange country because every country has its own beauty.
7. EQUATORIAL GUINEA.
Equatorial Guinea is located on the west coast of Africa its capital is Malabo this Spanish-speaking nation is the most corrupt place in the world Equatorial Guinea has Turned Corruption into an Art Form they have the second biggest oil reserve on the continent they have the highest GDP per capita of any African country. Yet the vast majority of the people are living under poverty. It's also the most expensive country on earth for visitors. You have to pay a whopping 100 bucks a night for a 1-star hotel room.
6. The REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA.
Armenia Armenia is a landlocked country in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia, The country where chess is a compulsory subject in school. Yes, you heard that right. Chess is part of the primary school curriculum and valued as much as maths and history. It's a national obsession, so don't expect an easy win when local school kids challenge you to a game. Its capital, Yerevan,
is also known as the 'pink city' for its ancient buildings built from a pinkish volcanic rock. Armenia has a rich Christian history, and many Armenians are still convinced that Noah's Ark is located on Mount Ararat.
5. DJIBOUTI.
Djibouti is a small, strategically located country on the northeast coast of the Horn of Africa. With a population of less than one million. This country is full of foreign military bases of various European, Asian, and American forces.
It is one of the most expensive countries in Africa why there are so many military bases in Djibouti? Djibouti's geostrategic location and its stability in a volatile region have made it an important playground for world powers. Located between Somalia, Eritrea, and Yemen, Djibouti occupies a strategic location adjacent to the Bab el Mandab Strait.
The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint because of the large volumes of oil that flow through the strait. In 2018, its daily oil flow averaged 21 million barrels per day (b/d), or the equivalent of about 21% of global petroleum liquids consumption.
4. TÜRKMENISTAN.
This Central Asian country with less than 10,000 visitors a year why because it's extremely difficult and pricey to get in much like North Korea believe it or not Turkmenistan is one of the wealthiest countries in the region because they have the fourth biggest natural gas reserve on earth the people really live a simple life there less than 1% of Turkmenistan 6million residents have internet access, and over 90 percent of all workers are employed by the government former dictator Saparmurat Niyazov
This guy likes to do things in his own way He renamed the town of Krasnovodsk "Turkmenbashi" after himself, and renamed schools, airports, and even a meteorite after himself he renamed all the months based on the names of his family members he banned Opera Ballet and circuses because he thought that they were too noisy.
He only allowed white cars on the roads and made it illegal to have pet dogs because he didn't like the smell. All of his weird laws have influenced Society in the strangest of ways that will leave you scratching your head.
3. The KINGDOM OF BHUTAN.
Bhutan yes, our neighbors Bhutan is a landlocked country in South Asia. Located in the eastern Himalayas, this country is amazing and beautiful, and it was on my bucket list in 1979. The teenage King of Bhutan famously said, "We do not believe in Gross National Product. Gross National Happiness is more important.
Since then, Gross National Happiness has become a Bhutanese philosophy. They do not measure GDP; instead, they use gnh to measure their peoples happiness Bhutan's people have many things to be happy about.
Seventy-two percent of Bhutan is covered with dense forest, while towering, monastery-dotted mountains cradle pristine rivers and ancient villages. It is the only carbon negative country in the world, which means it absorbs more carbon emissions than it produces every year. Bhutanese diet consists of red rice and cheesy peppers, and they really love chili, and they have a weird obsession with penises.
They draw it on their House shops and everywhere.
2. NATION OF BRUNEI.
Brunei, if you've never heard of Brunei before Brunei, it's a tiny oil-rich independent Islamic sultanate in Southeast Asia on Borneo island surrounded by Malaysia and Indonesia, about 79% of residents are identified as Muslim and brunie is considered to be the most observant Islamic nation in Southeast Asia.
Brunei has horrifying human rights laws; in fact, they recently implemented a law that you can be stoned to death if you're gay there's also heavy discrimination against non-Muslim Brunei has no freedom of speech no freedom of the press and everything is controlled by the government in the level of Corruption in this country is sky-high.
Brunei has high oil reserves, such as a small country, and hence it's rich.
Hassan al Bolkiah, The Sultan of Brunei, is one of the world's richest men. His net worth is 25 billion dollars, yet the people are suffering in poverty. If the Sultan spread just half of his wealth to the citizen's everyone will get twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and seventy-two dollars.
Or maybe he could donate one of his six hundred Rolls.
1. NORTH KOREA.
North Korea is a country in East Asia constituting the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, with Pyongyang as its capital.
No list of the world's strangest countries would be complete without North Korea. North Korea is known as one of the most closed and restrictive countries in the world.
It's dictator
Kim Jong-un executed his minister General Hyon Yong Chol, for falling asleep during a meeting.
He assigned his half brother Kim Jong-Nam in fear of a coup.
It may be the 21st century for us and the rest of the world, but for people in North Korea, it's still the 109th Juche year. The North Korean Juche calendar begins on April 15, 1912, the date of birth of its founder Kim Il-Sung. With everything under scrutiny, it's quite obvious that the North Korean regime keeps its media on a tight leash. There are only three television channels to choose from, with all programs controlled by the government. Here is the day to day few things that are prohibited in North Korea like you cannot be Jean's you will be executed if you hold Bible, No western food there is no internet.
Nice man
