Lesotho

"Thousands of people in the impoverished Commonwealth kingdom of Lesotho have asked South Africa in effect to annex their state because it has been bankrupted by the HIV pandemic."

"The impact of Aids – brought in by the migrant workforce – has ruined the economy. Uniquely in the developing world, Lesotho's deaths are close to outnumbering its births. A third of the population is HIV positive."
