Our website provides access to the EIU Global Democracy Index, which measures the state of democracy in countries worldwide. This index, sourced from The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited, evaluates various criteria, including the electoral process and pluralism, civil liberties, and the functioning of government.

As of December 31, 2022, Norway holds the first position in the EIU Global Democracy Index, indicating a high level of democratic governance within the country. New Zealand ranks second, followed by Iceland in third place. These countries are recognized for their strong electoral processes, respect for civil liberties, and effective functioning of government institutions.

On the other hand, North Korea ranks 164th in the index, Myanmar is in 165th place, and Afghanistan is in 166th place. These rankings suggest significant challenges in terms of democratic governance in these countries, including limited political freedoms, restricted civil liberties, and weaknesses in the functioning of government.
