As far as I know, there is no specific 'West Africa', but many small countries in that region.  They were colonies, mostly French-owned, until the late 1950s, when they gained independence.\n\nWierdest name?  The country currently known as Tanzania used to be called Tanganyica.  Wierd.

Sub-Saharan Africa is by far the poorest region in the world, and there are numerous other serious problems with the area that the governments in Sub-Saharan Africa need help to overcome.\n\nThe most obvious problem in this region is extreme poverty. this has proven to be the only area in which the UN's first MDG may not completed. in Sub-Saharan Africa, HALF of the people live on LESS THAN $1 A DAY. Poverty in Africa has cost thousands of lives and, according to Jeffrey Sachs, breeds terrorism. Mr. Sachs' statement is supported by the fact that there are in fact Al-Qaeda locations in Sub-Saharan Africa and the group's first attack was in Africa.\n\nAnother problem is the disease. HIV/AIDS is extremely prevalent, as well as countless other deadly diseases such as tuberculosis and parasitic diseases that are long extinct in other areas. the H5N1 Bird Flu Virus strain was also detected in Nigeria this February, which poses a serious threat to sub-saharan Africa and the entire world because: 1)it is very likely the disease will spread rapidly because birds have not yet been quarantined and, given the scarcity of food, it's very unlikely infected birds will be slaughtered 2)flu experts have said that the H5N1 Bird Flu virus strain, though not humanly communicable at the moment, may become communicable through humans, which would put the entire world in great danger\n\nyet another unfortunate aspect of Sub-Saharan Africa's current state is war. Civil wars have been raging in this area for numerous years, and the crudely drawn territories left by the countries like France and Portugal, of which many sub saharan africa countries were colonies, cause on-going dispute. There have been 200,000 killed as a result of civil war and countless other refugees. As Bob Geldof said, "if this scale of destruction was occuring in Europe, people would be calling it World War III...and rushing to provide aid."\n\nInarguably, sub-saharan Africa is in a dire state and needs to get rid of its problem.\n\nAnother reason the U.S. should give aid to sub-saharan africa is because of its rich natural resources. The area has massive amounts of colton, which is used in cell phones. The area also has oil wells (that are being bombed in wars), in quantaties so great it could provide the U.S. with 10% of its oil.\n\nPerhaps the most pressing reason we should give aid to this region is little known. In 1970, the United States of America, along with over 20 other developed nations met at an UN Earth Summit and pledged to give .7% of their Gross Domestic Product. This was to be acchieved by 1975. Yet, over THIRTY YEARS LATER, the United States is only giving .16% of their GDP, and is giving the very least of those 22 countries who pledged money, %-wise, a highly despicable thing, considering the U.S. is one of the most affluent nations in the world.\n\n\n\nTHE CONS:there are corrupt governments that will embezzle the money. Sub-Saharan Africa has been given billions of dollars and they have not improved their state at all; in fact, the more money they get, the worse they become. This si because the corrupt governments get richer and more powerful with every dollar in aid that they get; in fact, the former president of Nigeria was found to have smuggled over $500 billion.\n\nYet another reason we should not give aid because even if it reaches the citizens, it's not always used properly. For example some country(i forgot which one) used their aid money to build a highway, although there were barely any cars in the country. Countless projects have been poorly placed and left unfinished\n\nfurthermore, aid creates independence, which actually hampers their development. For example, Asia was once equally as poor as sub-Saharan Africa. From 1976-2000, they received significantly less aid than Sub-Saharan Africa, yet grew much more.\n\nthus, aid given will be useless and there is no way to make sure the money is properly spent...which lea

192 is the most commonly accepted answer.  However, that does not include several places such as Greenland, Western Sahara, Taiwan, Palestine, Bermuda, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, which all consider themselves countries.

It depends on how you define poorest.  If you are talking about the most people living below the poverty line, it is Asia.  But overall, there is much more $$ in Asia than Africa.  Either way, if you are looking to travel, check out Kenya and China.  Both are incredible.

Africa is the world's second-largest and second most populous continent, after Asia. At about 30,370,000 km² (11,730,000 sq mi) including its adjacent islands, it covers 5.9% of the Earth's total surface area, and 20.3% of the total land area. With over 840,000,000 people (as of 2005) in 61 territories, it accounts for more than 12% of the world's human population.

I would say Monaco and Zimbabwe as the poorest. Monaco is the richest for sure per capita.
