		dijit on Jan 12, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 2023 Global Passport Ranking There are a lot of countries that we in the west don't really care about that are aligned with Russia. Kazakhstan being one example of a country that is so unknown to the west it was used for comedy. There's also a lot of "ties" in that top 50 too, 49 is not an enviable position. There are actually 90 countries that are stronger.

>> Kazakhstan For what's worth Russia said at some point last year that Kazakhstan is not a real country...it's actually part of Russia. If the Ukraine invasion works out for Russia(highly unlikely) I'm pretty sure these countries will be next.
