  • Aspects: Very Unstable, Anarchy, Poor, Third Wave

Haiti remains the poorest country in the western hemisphere, wracked not only by social unrest and crooked government, but by ecological catastrophe. Deforestation and soil erosion have ruined the country’s agriculture, and supplies of drinkable water have long since been exhausted. Today Haiti is almost completely dependent on outside aid to avoid famine and pestilence.

Haiti continues to be a source of instability in the region. Border conflicts with the Dominican Republic have become increasingly common in recent years. Illegal migration into the Caribbean Union nations and the United States is also a problem.
