Also, tis a cool map.

Where abouts did you find the Basemap for it?
 
After the treaty of Washington DC that ended the Great War, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy struggled on through the twenties. However, as the world economy spired out of control in the 1930's, a socialist revolution rocked the nation. At first the minorities favored independence, but they joined together after the war of Russo-German intervention. Originally, while agriculture was Capitalist to rectify food shortages, industry was owned by the government. In the 1950's, as it became more apparent it's industries were stagnating, officials began to be paid as a percentage of what their company earned, increasing competitivness and product quality. In the 1980's, private industries were allowed on the market. Since then SteelDanubia and the Danubian Central Railway have grown to be the largest private corporations in Danubia. In 2003, the government began a controversial plan to privitize government owned corporations. Although some bemoan it's increasingly capitalistic bend and say it is little more than a capitalist welfare state, it is this freedom that has allowed Danubia such peace and prosperity, unlike it's oft-compared counterpart, the USSR, which has had to use force to maintain a tenuous grip on it's nation.

Nice! :D It might be interesting to have lived in such a country for a while......provided it didn't go Stalinist, of course. :eek:

Democracy index 2020.

Botswana's doing relatively well, it seems. But what in the HELL is South Korea doing in the green? IMHO, it should at least the lightest shade of green, if not yellow.
 
Why would the Arab world be hybrid regimes? I would think they would be flawed democracies at worst considering the Arab Spring.
Well they are mostly upper yellow while Libya is still having some troubles with Ghaddafi loyalists causing trouble.

South Korea is in the same category as right now, having gotten an 8.11 out of 10 in 2010.
 
It looks as though things have regressed. Also, Western Sahara remains under Moroccan occupation. Interesting.

Realistically, without someone deciding to intervene militarily Western Sahara is going to remain under Moroccan control for a very long time.
 
The Middle East has improved dramatically, along with a good chunk of nations about the world.

In some places, I suppose that's true, but are there really so many EU members and candidates which are not presently in the green on that scale?

Fair point.

I only dropped Greece Spain and Hungary. Estonia, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Slovakia all went up if I remember.
