It's good to see that when lack of democracy is the issue, Burma finally becomes Myanmar. LOL ;-)

I'm assuming in Somalia and Sudan's cases they weren't part of the statistical study. As for Belarus and Cuba, no idea.

Somalia and Tonga were not included in the survey. Sudan is on the quiz. Cuba, Belarus and Russia all three are around place 40 with scores around 3.50, thus not undemocratic enough to be on this list of 20.

East Germany was also called the German Democratic Republic

Oh the irony.

Lesson of the Story - If a country feels the need to tell you how democratic it is in its name, chances are it's got something to hide ;0)

I'm surprised China, Russia, Iraq, Vatican City, Egypt, Libya and Belarus aren't on here.

China is just missing out, coming 24th with a score of 3.00, as is Egypt (30th with 3.16). Iraq is higher, 57th with 4.23. Belarus is between those (43th with 3.69). Vatican City was not in the survey.

Yeah I felt like Vatican City had to be in here but I guess it makes sense for it not to be counted.

I think the quiz should be enlarged to accommodate the blatant undemocratic countries such as mentioned by others in the comments above. For a citizen in some countries not appearing in this quiz they have no rights, no justice, no freedom of choice, no freedom of speech etc etc............ and to think it is 2015.

Why is the UAE on here?! Isn't it like the only free country in the middle east?

According to the list: Zero score for the electoral process and a low political participation of the population. On the other hand a better functioning government and higher civil liberties than most other countries in this list.

Checking Wikipedia, the emirs of the participant states are absolute rulers; the parliament is only half elected, half appointed, and serves only an advisory role.

As to which country is the freeest country in the Middle East, that depends on what exactly you mean by Middle East. But if we discount Israel (36th most democratic out of 167 with 7.63 points) and Turkey (98th with 5.12),on this list the most democratic one is Lebanon (also 98th), followed by Palestine (106), Iraq (111), Kuwait (120) and Jordan (121). On the Arabian peninsula, Qatar scores highest, but even that would come on this list if it were extended with only 12 countries.

Wow, a whole lot of US allies... Seems like when we invade a country, our interest isn't actually bringing democracy.

Funny how countries that have a democratic in their name are usually the exact opposite... I feel like they only do it to try and boost their relations with the West :)
