Communist Countries on a Map

Can you name all countries that have ever been run as an one-party Marxist-Leninist state?

Not including early Soviet puppet states from between 1917-1922.

Some of these countries no longer exist. Note that these countries are superimposed on a current day world map and some might not have been communist at the same time.

Nepal?

Level 55

Oct 18, 2020

Nepal may be ruled by a communist party, but it's still a multi-party democracy, which doesn't meet the criteria for being included here.

Level 36

Nov 16, 2021

Communism doesn't mean there is no democracy? Nor does it mean no multi-party?

Do you people not read the caveats before making statements like this?

Great quiz!!! Maybe you could change the zoom to not be this strong.

Thanks! I'm unfortunately clueless as to why it zooms in so strangely.

North Vietnam? I am aware that it isn't easy, but I'm sure a mapmaker like you could do it :)

Nominated, by the way!

Level 55

Dec 4, 2020

Thanks! It's there, however typing "North Vietnam" or "Vietnam" will get you both of them. It should display "North Vietnam" when you hover over it on the map.

1948-2009 is said for the period of communism in North Korea. NK is still communist.

Level 65

Dec 21, 2020

North Korea's constitution was revised in 2009 to remove all references to Communism and Marxism-Leninism

When I touched the SVG to zoom in, it zoomed in on the wrong spot everytime, and I have never seen such thing ever before. For example when I touched around the Caribbean it zoomed in somewhere in middle of Atlantic.

Level 55

Feb 3, 2021

Yeah, it's very strange. I'm gonna try and fix that as soon as I can. I think I found out a way how.

EDIT: Should be fixed now.

Grenada as an actual communist regime is a bit of a stretch.

Level 55

May 15, 2021

The New Jewel Movement was a Marxist-Leninist party that ruled as the sole legal party during the People's Revolutionary Government. Doesn't sound like a stretch to me.

Is there a reason that the Xinjiang Clique is not included? Was it’s recognition not widespread enough?

Level 65

Jan 15, 2024

If anyone else was wondering the answer is that Xinjiang was not Communist…

From 1951 to 1957 San Marino was governed by the democratically elected UDP communist party. Nepal has also elected a Communist government. I know some people don’t associate Communism with parliamentary democracy but they do occasionally overlap.

Level 55

Jul 15, 2024

Not one-party states thus they don't meet the criteria for inclusion.

I thought there was also Chile, Venezuela, and Nicaragua?

They were never single-party states
