NCountries with the worst reputation in the world have been announced by the Reputation Insitute in its annual RepTrak index.
Rankings are based on a number of key drivers, including tolerance, safety, standard of living and attractiveness to tourists. The overall marks are given out of 100.
Common themes in the rankings are intolerance, religious extremism, and poor foreign relations.
Two countries with the worst reputation in the world are Iraq and Iran.

1. Iraq
Perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the most high-profile war zones of the last 20 years is also the country with the worst reputation. The US and UK-led Iraq War began in 2003 and is still technically ongoing. Bagdad endures suicide bombings almost daily and religious insurgencies seem to have no end in sight. Do not book a holiday here anytime soon.

2. Iran 

As an authoritarian government took power in Tehran after the “Islamic Revolution”, Iran’s reputation diminished, civil unrest became the norm, and relations with the US… collapsed.
