Some notable information from the survey:
1)
The number of nations included in the survey has decreased by 2, from 64 to 62 nations. That is a 3% decrease; the survey now represents 54.38% of the world's countries, down from 59.26% in 1580.
2)
The average Overall DI for the world has increased slightly: from 6.84 in both 1571 & 1580, to 6.99 in 1594.
This change is due in part to the loss of reported countries coming from the lower end of the spectrum, though some small, real gains in Overall DI have been made in general.
3)
The nation with the lowest Overall DI in 1594 was the Kaljuran Provisional Military Government @ 1.86,
which has retained the spot since the 1580 survey.
4)
The nation with the highest Overall DI in 1594 was Mordvania @ 9.93,
supplanting Angiris (@ 9.34 Overall DI in 1580), which fell to 24th at 8.18 Overall DI in 1594.
5)
The biggest negative mover was Angiris, which fell 23 spots from 1st in 1580 to 24th in 1594 (barely beating Khibland, which fell 22 spots);
The biggest positive mover was Singan, which rose 36 spots from 48th in 1580 to 12th in 1594.
6)
The top Overall DI rose by 0.59; the bottom Overall DI remained constant.
7)
The number of Full Democracies has remained the same, staying at 26 for both 1580 & 1594;
The number of Flawed Democracies has increased, from 17 (1580) to 18 (1594), an increase of 1 entire country;
The number of Hybrid Regimes has fallen, from 11 (1580) to 9 (1594), a decrease of 2 countries;
The number of Authoritarian Regimes has fallen, from 10 (1580) to 9 (1594), a decrease of 1 country.
These are the preliminary results for the 1594 Democracy Index. The study will be properly formatted and evaluated upon its conclusion. A big thanks to all who have participated thus far.
