[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reminds me of the EIU's democracy index. I was struck when looking at the 2018 list by the top few countries:

1.Norway 9.87
2. Iceland 9.58
3. Sweden 9.39
4. New Zealand 9.26
5. Denmark 9.22
6. Ireland 9.15
6. Canada 9.15
8. Finland 9.14
9. Australia 9.09
10. Switzerland 9.03
...25. United States 7.96

Seems like it's a lot easier to be more democratic in a homogenous society.

Those are all white countries.[b] Now do homgenous non-white countries. [/b][/quote]

bottom five from the site:

Chad
Central African Republic
Dem Republic of Congo
Syria
N. Korea[/quote]

So homogeneity doesn't seem to have a strong correlation with democracy. [/quote]
DP: iirc, the research on this has homogeneity swinging both ways.

But just wanted to point out that [b]DROC, CAR, and Syria[/b] are most definitely not homogeneous countries[/quote]

in bold - What's the biggest factor?  religion?[/quote]
