	Great not to see Italy on this list! The whole world knows Berlusconi is nothing but a dictator, but those Italians just won't see it....

	Looked at the source, apparently North Korea scored a 0.86 out of 10... ouch.

	Unfortunately the index, whilst taking into account free and fair elections, doesn't seem to put enough emphasis on the influence on money in the system... the US and UK being prime examples where the process is extremely exclusive. I'd say there are very few 'full democracies'...

	Isn't it strange that four of the five most 'fully democratic' countries are monarchies?

	1a2b3c:	Oct 10th, 2010 at 15:39 GMT	5 points
	@Tirion they are constitutional monarchies so the role of the monarch is just ceremonial

	Isn't Greece's government in tatters? Or is it just their economy?

	I was surprised the United States was 18th place, and then I remembered that we cannot elect our own president, primaries are closed, the courts are basically untouchable, and citizen initiatives are difficult to conduct in many states.

	Interesting list, reliable source, flawless execution, but as a quiz, this just plays as yet another "name the X most developed countries, with perhaps two or three exceptions". There's nothing wrong with it, but I feel quizzes like this aren't nearly as much fun as ones which stand out a bit more from the pack…

	@krys2485-way to be the "stupid american"

	@1a2b3c I probably should have made a ;-) behind my post. Of course I know that the kings and queens of Europe are there only for show and sentimental reasons, I was just pointing out a funny fact.
