North Korea is taking it seriously travel business, and some operators are already starting to recruit groups to visit the most closed country in the world. But besides North Korea, there are several other unusual states that have hardly been visited by tourists.
The most non-tourist and little-visited country in the world. It is located in an archipelago of islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Tuvalu belongs to the countries of the fourth world, that is, to the poorest. This is not surprising: after all, it has almost no markets for its products, the economy is exclusively natural and works for the domestic market, and there is an acute shortage of qualified specialists. At the same time, Tuvalu is incredible beautiful country, which has something to show the traveler.
The most closed country in the world, which has become a byword and an antonym to the words "democracy", "freedom" and "welfare". North Korea is the only country in the world that is not a member of the UN, and the only one that cares so much about its few tourists. All foreigners who have arrived in the country are taken under guardianship by an annoying guide who does not allow a step to step outside the prescribed route.
You might think that the rulers of North Korea deliberately create such a specific image for the country so that tourists go to it. Unfortunately, they do this involuntarily, although the effect of this does not change: those who want to go to the caricatured totalitarian North Korea number in the hundreds of thousands.
The smallest state South America has a lot to offer tourists. Except, perhaps, developed tourism infrastructure. Suriname is surprising in that it has almost no cities and villages in the full sense of the word. Hundreds of kilometers of jungle with the roofs of houses occasionally appearing among the thickets are all that can be seen in Suriname.
At the same time, there is a very rich plant and animal world, an unusual way of life and a peculiar culture local residents. All this is worthy of tourist attention, one has only to close one's eyes to the endless jungle and harsh climatic conditions.
Sealand is definitely the most amazing country in the world. It is located ten kilometers from the coast of Great Britain and was founded in 1967 by retired Major Paddy Roy Bates. This man captured one of the defensive platforms built during the Second World War, and proclaimed himself emperor, and called his land Sealand.
After the creation of the empire, the emperor wrote the constitution. The constitutional monarchy is currently ruled by Prince Michael I Bates. The legal system is based on British law, the state machine is run by several ministries. Almost every citizen of Sealand is a minister or high-ranking official, since the population of the state is only about five people. Most countries do not recognize Sealand as sovereign, although the British authorities consider it an independent state entity.

In Mongolia, 2.5 million people occupy over 600,000 square miles of land (about 1,560,000 sq km). Most of this population lives in urban areas, as the development of pastures in the vast deserts of Mongolia is difficult, in particular due to drought and dust storms, as a result of which some parts of the country are almost as deserted as in the time of Genghis Khan.
5. Country in the jungle - Suriname
The area of forests is 14.8 million hectares (57,000 square miles), which is 91% of the total land area of Suriname (16.3 million hectares, or 63,000 square miles). Suriname's vast forest and low population of about 400,000 in the capital and coastal cities give it one of the lowest deforestation rates in the world. Only 5 percent of the population lives in the rainforests, and these are indigenous peoples and six tribes of blacks - descendants of runaway slaves who recreated forest communities centuries ago and today retain their traditional West African style.
The country with the highest decline in fertility is Ukraine, with a natural population decline of 0.8% each year. Ukraine is expected to lose 28% of its population between now and 2050 (from 46.8 million now to 33.4 million in 2050).

Tuvalu is halfway between Australia and Hawaii and is predicted to be the first country to disappear underwater when global warming raises sea levels high enough. In addition, it is very difficult to get here and very expensive flights from Fiji. Tuvalu is visited by a total of 1100 tourists a year.
9. Country-continent - Australia
Australia is the only country in the world that spans an entire continent, there is more than one country on any other continent. It is the only country that is a continent, and a continent that is a country.
