Western Sahara
OK, so maybe Western Sahara isn’t technically a country by the standards of sovereignty. But it’s definitely not like anywhere else.
The more-or-less-Moroccan territory has been a place of disputed ownership for decades, but as one of the world’s most sparsely populated places it’s a rather quiet argument between Morocco and Mauritania. Most of the population live in the capital of El Aaiún or further down the coast in the surfer-friendly city of Dakhla.
