Bocaranga, Central African Republic

A population of just 15,744 means living in Bocaranga is a far cry from big-city comforts. The Central African Republic's grinding bureaucracy is a persistent headache, while the tropical climate can be a trial. On the upside, this remote outpost is largely spared the civil unrest plaguing much of the country. For those seeking an off-the-grid existence, Bocaranga may fit the bill, but the strong of stomach and constitution only need apply.
