Miabi, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Living in Miabi, Democratic Republic of the Congo is no walk in the park. With a population of 79,929, this territory is a bureaucratic labyrinth, led by an administrator appointed by the central government. Territories like Miabi are further divided into sectors, chiefdoms, and communes, creating a persistent headache of red tape. And while 73% of the electorate may reside in territories, the actions of local authorities remain under administrative control and subject to judicial appeal. Only the hardy need apply for life in Miabi.
