Before anyone inevitably asks, the reasons Iraq and NK aren't on there is because the HDI was unable to collect data from them from the latest survey.

Perhaps add them as bonus answers.

I'm not sure either Iraq or North Korea would make it onto this list, anyway as the HDI doesn't just take into account living conditions or war. Witness Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran's exclusions. Not to mention the parts of Indonesia and China which are largely unlivable.

@converge: Afghanistan however is very low on the list. Both Iran and Lebanon are quite developed, and the Palestine Territories are not a country. I believe HDI is all about living conditions, and war has a huge impact on that, so yes, I think Iraq and North Korea belong on the list.

War conditions effect virtually every aspect of the HDI, if India is on this, Iraq would unquestionably rank. If Myanmar is, then NK should be as well.

North Korea isn't at war. I don't think it would make this list.

Neither is Myanmar (well aside from a few insurgents), NK has undergone famine and is poorly run on all levels except military. It would unquestionably rank.
