Depending on your definition of failure, there could be many reasons a country can fail, both internally and externally. Even with the strictest definitions, there are still more than one. Disagreements can lead to civil wars or to splits. Historically, plague and/or famine has killed off enough of a population that there were no longer enough people alive to survive on their own so they fled and were absorbed by neighboring countries. Natural disasters have decimated small countries out of existence. Nobody really knows what happened to the Mayans. Invasion and hostile absorption has quite often been the downfall of a country. Remember, the nation of Israel ceased to exist for thousands of years before we have them back a portion of their claimed homeland less than a hundred years ago. On their trek across the desert after fleeing Egyptian captivity, the tribes of Israel killed off entire peoples and then displaced indigenous population to take that land in the first place, if you are to believe the traditional history.
These seem like they aren't relevant in today's society but many could still happen. The world regulatory bodies could well balk and try to take action when one country tries to and another and try to take action against it or even simply fail to recognize the acquisition. That doesn't really change much, though. The rest of the world would most likely step in and try to prevent such an occurrence if the countries involved we big or noticable enough. We deliver aid to nations that are plague ridden or not able to feed themselves but not indefinitely. We (the international community) also currently have a hand in the downfall of nations. Where would the USSR be if not for cold war sanctions? Where would North Korea be if not under the boot of the rest of the world? They struggle and survive in a slow decline despite radical sanctions and political opposition, even with the corruption going on behind their borders.
