Cuba scored 80.6 and ranked 76 overall in 177 states.
The rank order of the states is based on the total scores of the 12 indicators: Demographic Pressures, Refugees/IDPs, Group Grievance, Human Flight, Uneven Development, Economic Decline, Delegitimization of the State, Public Services, Human Rights, Security Apparatus, Factionalized Elites, and External Intervention.
The island nation is in danger of becoming a failed state.
FP and FfP quantify a failed state as having several attributes: “One of the most common is the loss of physical control of its territory or a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. Other attributes of state failure include the erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions, an inability to provide reasonable public services, and the inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community.”
