Democracy Index 2010 country rankings:
Human Rights Watch | Defending Human Rights Worldwide
The Economist Intelligence Unit’s index of democracy, on a 0 to 10 scale, is based on the ratings for 60 indicators grouped in five categories: electoral process and pluralism; civil liberties; the functioning of government; political participation; and political culture. Each category has a rating on a 0 to 10 scale, and the overall index of democracy is the simple average of the five category indexes.

Very interesting. Is there any more information on the 5 categories?
Super stoked that Canada is in the top 10. I'd love to see a version of this democracy index sorted by ranking.
I am working on visualizing this dataset using gogolemaps chart api and noticed some countries such as Somalia and Kyrgyzstan are missing...can somebody confirm this? Thanks ! Abdel
