India in a sea of red vs Venezuela in a sea of blue.
It is much harder for India to get red because a dictator from one ethnicity would get thrown out by every other ethnicity.

South Korea slid 16 places (16 -> 32) and lost 0.41 points (8.16 -> 7.75) during the three years of the previous administration, which ended early following a self-coup attempt in december of 2024…. This is the lowest placement and score it has had since the inception of the index in 2006.

You know these think tank index scores are completely bunk when Iran, which has an elected parliament and head of government, still somehow scores lower in democracy than Saudi Arabia, an absolute hereditary monarchy with no elections.
Peak “American Eagle Burger Institute evil index” moment. Sure Iran is a hellhole, but there’s no rational and internally consistent explaination to score Saudi Arabia better.

Thailand is a hybrid between absolute monarchy and military dictatorship, how is it democratic?

Not saying these is complete bs, but these indices are to be taken with multiple grains of salt. A Western media corporation telling us who the good and bad guys are is a thing prone to manipulation. That stuff is used to justify military interventions and shit.

The US is a flawed democracy because of the the role of money.

Iraq is an authoritarian!! I wish, but sadly it isn’t. Instead, we got the shitty democratic system (we allow very stupid people to vote and decide). Also, how is Saudi Arabia score more than Iran!? Saudi is an absolute monarchy and actually chops heads of anyone that dares to criticize the regime. On the other hand, Iran has a parliament and voting system and somehow lax speech law.
*This map is absolutely typical western-mossad bullshit*
Peak western propaganda. Imagine saying the US is a democracy while it’s ruled by a political elite for decadesÂ

I’m Russian and I don’t understand why Belarus is less democratic than Russia. It has no mass internet use restrictions, and stuff like lgbt isn’t banned there.

Is Australia not dark blue because we have compulsory voting. I would argue compulsory voting is more democratic, as the result keeps governments more accountable.

This is hilariously bias. It’s propaganda to the most laughable extent. This might as well be a map of “are you liberal aligned or not – map”

Well, atleast the Gulf is honest about not being democracies, they outright say they are authoritarian monarchies.

Spanish judiciary is deeply corrupted and politicized
