Interesting question. It's Malaysia, and it's not close. They have the minimum 100 points, and have had that amount for as long as the game tracks history(a few decades, so not all the way back to the beginning). At other points there have been countries tied with them for worst, but their national best is 100 points so they've literally never won a WTC tie, even at the lowest tier, in the entirety of their history. They suck every bit as much as Sri Lanka did when I began this (mis)adventure.

They're so bad, the list ranks them 88th … out of 86 nations :P. Top player in their history, by far, is Kasem Chutimant, who 'flourished' about 15 years ago and reached 153rd in singles, 205th in doubles. A low-level challenger player at his peak. Another guy decades earlier was a low-level futures performer; nobody else in the Top 1000(meaning they were amateur level at best). Another way of looking at that; my players, when they emerge from the junior level and go pro at age 18, with about four years of physical maturation and nearly a decade of skill development ahead of them, are at least as good as the third-best player Malaysia has produced. Ever.

Or as Emilio Estevez's character in The Mighty Ducks might have put it: "They REALLY suck"
