North Korea is getting serious about the travel business, and some operators are already starting to recruit groups to visit the world's most closed country. But besides North Korea, there are also several unusual states, which have hardly been visited by tourists.

The most non-touristy and least visited country in the world. It is located on 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, there is an acute shortage of qualified specialists. At the same time, Tuvalu is incredibly beautiful country, which has something to show the traveler.

The most closed country in the world, which has become the talk of the town and the opposite of the words "democracy", "freedom" and "prosperity." 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 arriving in the country are taken under the care of an annoying guide who does not allow a 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 can travel to it. Unfortunately, they do it 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 most small state South America has a lot to offer tourists. Except, perhaps, a well-developed tourist infrastructure. Suriname is surprising in that there are almost no cities and villages in the full sense of the word. Hundreds of kilometers of jungle with rooftops occasionally protruding among the thickets are all that can be seen in Suriname.

At the same time, it is very rich in plant and animal world, an unusual way of life and a kind of culture local residents... All this is worthy of tourist attention, you just have to close your eyes to the endless jungle and harsh climatic conditions.

Sealand is by far 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 a constitution. Currently, the constitutional monarchy is ruled by Prince Michael I Bates. The legal system is based on British law, state machine several ministries are in charge. Almost every citizen of Sealand is a minister or a 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 formation.

Most Unique Country: Indonesia

Indonesia is the biggest Island state in the world: about 18,000, of which only about 7,000 have their own names. The largest of the islands are New Guinea, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi and Java, and all the other islands are much smaller.

For large islands the combination of mountainous terrain with plains covered with dense humid tropical forests is characteristic. On many islands, mountain slopes rise steeply almost from the coast and culminate in peaks.

One of the natural features of Indonesia is that many of the islands are covered with snow, despite being close to the equator. Indonesia can also be considered a country of volcanoes: there are more than 500 of them, and 129 are active. The island of Java is especially famous for its numerous volcanoes.

And the most famous volcano Indonesia - Krakatoa, which is located between the islands of Java and Sumatra. The largest are Rinjani in Lombok and Agun in Bali.

Most unique country: Bolivia

The uniqueness of Bolivia lies in the fact that it can be called the most mountainous country, and in its isolation from the world. It is not for nothing that Bolivia is called the "Tibet of America". Unfortunately, the way out to The Pacific Ocean the country lost as a result of the war with Chile, so now it is in the middle of the continent. Here is the most high-altitude de facto capital - La Paz.

Bolivia has the highest navigable lake in the world - Titicaca. Unlike other Latin American countries most of its population - indigenous people, Indians - one of the main Indian tribes of Bolivia.

Its population is over 2 million. When visiting Bolivia, tourists have a unique opportunity to meet with representatives of this people, who still follow their traditions and customs.
