How Democratic Are The Countries With 'Democratic' In Their Name? 

Countries with the word "Democratic" in their names are the definition of clickbaiters

Mauritius a full democracy???? It's for this I tell my students not to trust Wikipedia like you are doing.

Fully democratic Taiwan, Japan and South Korea next door to Authoritarian China and North Korea. What a contrast!

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 George Orwell, 1984

good video, i have been watching u for a while. congrats on 100k, i hope u get verified

How does one determine the scale of how democratic a country is? I get that countries ran by dictators rank highly but how would one seperate say, the UK from USA?

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

bro here ion myanmar its actually nice despite it rank 166th

How on earth is the DRC authoritarian? Doesn't the country have an elected president and government?

Great video. Afghanistan is tragic and they are definitely in need. Just ask the USA! For who has cynical players inside, the kind willing to give advanced weapons without taxpayer consent for sale to cowardly terrorist groups hiding in the mountains in a war on terror, then?

1st!

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.

what about the democratic republic of Congo?

Authoritarian is the majority because it is wider (4.0 to 0.0)

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
