Democracy Index

Data by the Economist Intelligence Unit. Expert estimates of the extent to which citizens can choose their political leaders in free and fair elections, enjoy civil liberties, prefer democracy over other political systems, can and do participate in politics, and have a functioning government that acts on their behalf. The index ranges from 0 to 10 (most democratic).
