So, Honduras, Haiti, Venezuela - no surprise. All semi-failed states for a while.

Ecuador is the new kid on the block. As I understand it, it's because the money from an oil boom ran out, then the country was overrun by drug cartels pushed out of neighboring Colombia.

A shame. Ecuador has amazing natural riches, highest biodiversity in the world. They've been copying Costa Rica's business model of sustainable-ish tourism. Much better than drugs and it really does bring development.
