Afghanistan
Afghanistan, officially the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is a landlocked country located at the crossroads of Central Asia and South Asia. He is currently ruled by the 
Taliban, a 
terrorist group. The country has the worst human rights ever.
Because the Taliban hates 
industry, they use 
traditional, old-fashioned ways of building up their economy. This makes Afghanistan one of the few countries that don't use a 
capitalist nor 
socialist system.
History
The Taliban were able to retake 
Afghanistan as the 
US and 
NATO troops started to pull out. With USA completing his withdrawal by August 30, 2021, the chaotic scenes at 
Kabul's airport shocked the world, as desperate citizens clung to departing planes, trying to flee Taliban's rule. Throughout late 2021, Afghan’s economy began collapsing under international sanctions and frozen assets. The world largely refused to recognize Taliban as the legitimate ruler of Afghanistan, isolating him politically and economically.
In early 2022, Afghan Talibanball struggled to maintain control as 
ISIS-K, a local extremist rival, launched deadly attacks, creating further instability. Meanwhile, 
PR China and 
Pakistan stepped in, offering economic deals, while 
RussiaBall quietly supported Taliban as a counterweight to USA’s influence in the region.
By mid-2022, internal unrest grew. Protests erupted, especially from Afghanistan’s women and youth, who resisted Taliban’s harsh policies. The economic crisis deepened into 2023, with food shortages and unemployment surging. By late 2023, Taliban still held power, but the people of Afghanistan were suffering under famine-like conditions, compounded by harsh winter months.
