Overview

Out of 72 countries, Afghanistan sits at #3 — 3rd Most Cooked. Three departments are doing the heavy lifting here: healthcare financing (catastrophic health spending beats 99% of the field, just not in a good way), political institutions (political polarization, 93rd percentile), and housing policy bringing up the rear. Different agencies, same energy.

Overall score: 51/100 — 24 points above the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: billionaires hoarded (0 billionaires) — better than 90% of countries tracked. The story here isn't the country — it's the healthcare financing stack behind these numbers.
