    Did you notice Canada, Australia, and most of Europe were a dark blue, indicating most democratic, whereas the USA was less democratic and a lighter blue. They really are a flawed democracy atm

      The US is not a democracy its a Federal constitutional republic that uses a democratic processes to elect representatives for a set period of time.

    The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink

    Having the word "Democratic" or "People's" in your country name is a guarantee that it is anything but.
    German Democratic Republic (East Germany), the Somali Democratic Republic, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam ( North Vietnam), the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (South Yemen), the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
    States which use the term "Democratic Republic" in their official names also include many that do not hold free elections and have been rated as "undemocratic" or "unfree" by organizations that gave such ratings. Algeria (People's Democratic Republic of Algeria), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia (Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia), North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), Laos (Lao People's Democratic Republic), Nepal (Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal), etc.
    Their "Democracy" is a steaming pile of bullshit lies. Sad but true.

      I'm from Nepal and rigging elections here is soooo common its actually astonishing our current prime minister is someone absolutely hated by a lot of people for corruption,money laundering and a bunch of other shit,and your statement is 100% true my man.Recently our FORMER PM's wife and a bunch of other assholes were involved in the Bhutanese refugee crisis where they sold Nepalese citizens for a shit load of money and there's a high risk of Nepal getting into the gray list of FATF as well because of our horrible politicians.

    Democracy is a western term. You notice that most of the democratic countries are in the European continent and EU particularly. This is because they are more developed not only economicaly but on a societal level - famines, religious repressions and inquisitions of the dark ages, the black death, the industrial revolution, conquering half of the world, not to mention 2 continent wide wars. All these things played a part and shaped Europe to find solutions to it's economical, political, racial, religious and social issues

      Europe is overwhelmingly communistic. This survey conflates “democracy” with communism.
