I did know about Chavez but did not realize it was to the level of Congo/Zimbabwe/Libya being more desirable.

  At the low end, I'd guess it's probably more about measurement techniques than reality. Venezuela is not the most stable, prosperous, or wealthy society, but it's also not "hyperinflation and broad property seizure", and it's certainly not "armed gangs wandering the country raping and murdering indiscriminately."

      Watched the vice video which confirms my thoughts (Venezuela should have been ranked much higher). Please watch the below, which shows congo (which ranked higher than venezuela in this study) : http://www.vice.com/vice-news/the-vice-guide-to-congo-1 http://www.vice.com/vice-news/the-vice-guide-to-congo-1
