private colonial state

Congo Free State under Leopold II @ 1897

Leopold II's private Congo regime during the rubber terror, using hostage-taking, forced quotas, and violent extraction. The score is near the bottom because corporate-style resource extraction was fused with sovereign violence over a colonized population.

Why this matters: This is a private-government anchor for extraction backed by direct terror.
