Democratic Republic of Congo

Central African Republic

Also,

>North Korea
>Iran
>detaining you

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. A lot of people visit NK yearly. The same goes for Iran. Just because one American fucks up in NK doesn't mean it's "dangerous"

>>1279947
>I know what I'm getting myself into.

Famous last words

Iran isn't dangerous at all lol

I know the thought of having to go back to the school you hate with all those tough responsibilities like home work and house cleaning is tough but I'm sure you'll be able to power through it big boy

Now spend the last weeks of your summer holidays playing LoL and fapping to trap hentai before you have to go back to school

>>1279958
>>1279961
About NK and Iran.

Even if I won't be detained immediately, for an American it would still be a very lockdown, controlled trip, where I'd have to mind my P's and Q's the entire time, which is not the experience I'm looking for.

I will check out DRC and CAR though, thanks.

>>1279963
Whoa dude, good thing you're here to clean up 4chan, what would we do without you?

>>1279952
I'll check out Colombia too, thanks. Any suggestions of cities in particular to visit?

You should come over to my place. I'll fuck you right up

>Iran
>dangerous

Venezuela sounds what you're looking for. Nearing a state of total anarchy, only the armed and strong survive.

>>1279968
You have clearly not even made the smallest research about Iran.

Liberia and Sierra Leone are pretty chaotic as well, forgot about those.
Burma has places off the beaten path where government authority doesn't reach but I wouldn't say it's dangerous per se.

Don't know if you are looking just for anarchy or actively looking for danger.

>>1279993
Thanks man. One of the best responses so far.

>>1279984
So you're censuring me to convince me of a point of view I don't care about to elicit a response towards doing something I'm not going to do, on an image board on the internet. Pretty wise.

Man, can't wait for OP to end up beheaded in a ditch somewhere 3 days after his arrival there.

Let us know which shit hole you decide on so I can keep my eyes open on news!

>>1279947
Legal Anarchy doesn't necessarily mean a bunch of guys running around with machetes.

Try China, there are societies and laws wrapped inside societies and laws.

Most dangerous lawless place I've been was Nicaragua, roaming child gangs and corrupt cops everywhere.

Small villages on the outskirts of Morocco and Guatemala are also a good place to check out.

Most developing countries don't have the resources to police up their small villages, so that might offer what you are looking for. These areas are usually surprisingly safe too as long as you aren't a dickhead.

>>1280006
Solid suggestion, I'll check all that out, thanks!

>>1279996
>Liberia and Sierra Leone are pretty chaotic as well, forgot about those.
They were perfectly fine last year. Sure, they're not perfectly functioning model states, but things are generally quiet there.

>>1279968
>I will check out DRC and CAR though, thanks.
Avoid Kasai and Eastern provinces. Avoid CAR east of Bangui, it's a warzone.

>>1280026
>Sure, they're not perfectly functioning model states, but things are generally quiet there.
Trueish, but there was still a lot of banditry on the highways when I was there (couple of years ago now... not sure if things have changed dramatically since then).

I assume this thread is just bait, but I'm curious about your motivations, which will actually change my answers. Cambodia, for example, while never truly lawless, remains a place without effective rule of law and near-universal, deeply entrenched corruption. Laws exist on paper but are limited and arbitrary in their enforcement. Street traffic (anarchic) casino gambling (illegal but prevalent), and to a lesser extent enforcement of drug laws (most offenses can be bought out of on the spot) are some visible examples of this.

But that doesn't mean you can get away with, say, rape or murder.

>>1279993
>Eritrea
Eritrea is the opposite of lawless... it's deeply authoritarian. Most foreigners have a hard time getting in and very restricted mobility when they're in. OP sounds American, in which case he's never getting a visa in the first place. (Also, the Eritrean-Ethiopian border is an endless, barely-simmering de facto conflict zone.)

>>1280037
Oh, and Rwanda is actually a very peaceful dictatorship these days, too... potentially bad actors from the civil war/genocide years are either in government or over the borders in Kivu, DRC or Burundi.

What OP calls "legal anarchy" doesn't exist for very long; you really only get it for a period when a political system is collapsing and nothing has filled the void yet. I don't think Venezuela is close to the kind of collapse some people are hinting at; it's just very violent and dysfunctional. There's police, political militia, military, and countless gangs in different communities. Martial law is more likely than anarchy. Some edgy 4chan hitchhiker won't have much fun, either way.

Also, most African countries have week governments but communities and tribal structures regulate life. Places like Libya and Somalia are run by militias, the Af/Pak border has little government but it's run by tribal militia.

OP clearly has no idea what he's getting himself into, so give him sensible advice anons.

>>1280018
I will add wherever you go, one thing you should invest some time in is AT LEAST lower intermediate level language skills in the area. Even it it's an obscure language you will never use outside your trip/whatever you are doing. If you are going to an area that doesn't have a lot of government oversight it's really important. It makes you look like you aren't some ass wandering around, instead you will appear to be a guy that knows what he is doing. It will also humanize you and make you more interesting to the locals, and it will allow you to bargain and take advantage of the rock bottom prices that go along with a failed society. Just take one or two weeks and learn about 80 words in the local language, if you are serious about this please take my advice with this.

>>1279997
nah, he's just pointing out how stupid you are.
Also, informing the others reading this thread about the actual facts

kid, you really are dumb

I get what you mean anon, but pretty much the whole world has been claimed, there is no escape.

>>1279968
Dont go to the CAR,
Nothing to do, and you will not be safe.
My brother has been in that region, as a part of the french army, and even he did not feel safe.

>>1280030
Cambodia is a place I'm thinking about because it brushes along the golden triangle of opiate trade, which I am a big fan of. Good advice nonetheless.

>>1280037
>>1280038
I'll keep it in mind, thanks.

>>1280046
I know it's silly to state your own credentials on 4chan, since there's no way of proving it, but I'm fairly well versed in the Middle-East and failed states in general. I have some idea of what I'm getting myself into.

>>1280087
Okay, then start a thread about the pros and cons of travel to Iran if you're so concerned about 'educating other readers' on this highly important 4chan board.

>>1280126
Copy, thanks for the advice.

You'll probably need a special visa for these places, but go for China's Xinjiang, Tibet, or any of the Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures in neighboring provinces like Gansu or Sichuan. The rural areas have separatists and terrorists but also have plenty of culture and cuisine to experience. Kashgar is a city in Xinjiang that is very reminiscent of the middle East and a place to experience Uyghur culture. If you want to play it risky you can also go to the Russian or Pakistani border.

>>1280160
Thanks man, solid advice. Tibet actually sounds interesting, although not exactly what I was thinking. I'll look into it.

>>1280160
You don't need a special visa for xinjiang I was there last year on a normal tourist visa stating that I was crossing over from Kazakhstan by train on my visa application though in reality I ended flying in from Bishkek due to time constraints.

>>1280146
>Cambodia is a place I'm thinking about because it brushes along the golden triangle of opiate trade, which I am a big fan of.
I hope it goes without saying that you should be very careful around drug people anywhere in Southeast Asia. Local governments like to make high-profile examples of foreigners that can be accused of trafficking in hard drugs. Speed is typically the most dangerous--the rewards a Cambodian cop can reap with the press and his superiors for sending some dumb drug tourist to prison for a handful of low-quality amphetamines far outweigh whatever bribe he can get from the culprit. But smack bribes are typically more expensive than weed bribes, too. Could be thousands. Make some friends before you try to score, and then don't trust them.

>>1280030
>Trueish, but there was still a lot of banditry on the highways when I was there (couple of years ago now... not sure if things have changed dramatically since then).
No sings, nor did the locals - generally a helpful bunch - warn us for anything of that sort, nor did I hear any stories. Some places are a bit rough, but nothing that appeared extremely dodgy other than the more notorious Monrovia slums.

Did hear there were still roadcutters in Ivory Coast, north of Bouake I believe, but that's it.

>>1280171
I'm still pretty sure you need one for Tibet tho

Go to Libya

Tons of cool stuff to see, no major fighting right now, pretty much no government

>>1280146
>I'm fairly well versed in the Middle-East and failed states in general
So you browse /pol/ and /int/. Good for you. I hope for your sake that your mom takes your credit card away before you get in trouble.

>>1279947
There is no problem with you going to North Korea or Iran you know ...

>>1280386
Except for that travel ban US citizens just got. Their own government told them to not go to DPRK.

>>1280387
How would they even enforce this? North Korea won't give a shit and you travel to China first anyway.

>Be glorious Australian
>Have second passport from government to visit these shithole countries like Iran so I have no issues using normal passport in U.S

>>1279947
cambodia

>>1280171
>>1280365
That situation for that stuff can change on a daily basis. Xinjiang is supposed to be a police state right now and they took the passports from the people that were residents of that area so they can't leave without permissions.

>>1280386
North Korea and Iran are kind of the opposite of what OP is looking for. They are police states where the rules are enforced strictly. In Iran I'm sure there are exceptions iin the outskirts, but if OP is from a country that has a bumpy relationship with Iran he could expect to be watched closely and fucked over. I get the impression OP is looking for a place that is more freewheeling.

Already was when I was there apcs patrol the streets with about 10-12 guys armed automatic weapons body amour and helmets. Saw another couple set up in strategic positions around the city once again 8-10 guys with auto weapons full armour and a couple of dogs. Airport style security for the bigger malls x rays on all bags, all liquids confiscated and metal detectors/ pat downs. All hotels and most restaurants had metal detectors plus reservists/security gourds with truncheons and riot shields. Plus they actually gave a shit about people using vpns there if you connected your device at a place like a university using a vpn you would get expelled and possibly jailed.

PAKISTAN

Go to Peshawar in particular, or if your feeling brave, get a permit + escort for the tribal areas and Khyber pass.

>>1279947
Go to Belize City OP!

>>1279947
Rio de Janeiro is a hot spot right now.

>>1280006
>These areas are usually surprisingly safe too as long as you aren't a dickhead.

This, honestly most places you go that aren't active warzones are completely safe for foreigners, even if the country is an undeveloped shithole. OP, you're going to be in a lot more danger in East Saint Louis than you would in Rwanda, Iraqi Kurdistan, or Malawi.

>>1282090
>Khyber pass.
haha yeah do this OP

>>1279954
That website is sad as fuck.

>>1282090
Truth. This here oldfag went to Darra and the Khyber pass 20 year sago. We had one guard then. I guess Darra is out of bounds now, but no doubt you would need 10 guards for the pass.
>Remembering drinking tea with the men of the Khyber Rifles. Will remember forevah.
