Dysfunction Junction?

A general knowledge test given by the Kenyan university that the college is affiliated with had a general knowledge question based on this interesting Time Magazine article about African emigrants coming back to the continent.  The article begins:

The oil-rich african nation of Chad has rampant corruption, unclean water, few tarred roads and patchy electricity. It ranks as the world's second most dysfunctional country, after Somalia, according to the 2011 Failed States Index of the Washington-based nonprofit Fund for Peace. In short, Chad seems a nightmare location for business — unless, that is, you are Papa Madiaw Ndiaye, 45, or Patrice Backer, 44, of Advanced Finance & Investment Group...

Question: According to the passage, which is the most dysfunctional country in the world?

One Student's Answer: Washington

Photo taken in Sudan (i.e. South Sudan
 before July 9), which was the third worst country
on the Failed States Index. Now that we're in
South Sudan, who knows, we may be the best.

Most dysfunctional? Some may
 say so, but we disagree.
