The 2022 survey alone lists 24 Full Democracies, and if you include every survey from 2006, there are 30 countries that have be identified as Full Democracies at some point. The authors of the study divide the Full Democracies into two separate tiers. It appears that you are listing only those countries that are in the highest tier of the Full Democracies.

I used both tiers of full democracies. Double checking the list, I see I missed Uruguay which I'll add when the Economists update this list.

Which democracy index? There seem to be at least four.

Looking at it, the Economist's methodology seems to be bizarrely narrow (ignoring the extent to which elected officials are able to set policies, for example, which seems pretty fundamental to me).

Almost all indices have their limitations but looking over a period of time increases the accuracy.
