I think top of the list should be armenia. Small and landlocked. West side is turkey, border is closed and heavily guarded by turkey. East side is azerbaijan, clash zone; there's an ongoing low-density war. South iran, which is another muslim country and also population around the border mostly turkic. Georgia in the north is a christian country but has bitter relations with russia, which is father of armenia, so that way is also not reliable. Result= one of the poorest countries in the world, very low life standards.
