	Why are these quizzes not verified? They're really good

	I love how the Democratic Republic of the Congo is less democratic than the Republic of the Congo

	segacs:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 00:37 GMT	12 points
	@mrosser25, the word "democratic" in a country name is usually a good tip-off that it's anything but. See "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" (North Korea's official name), or the "German Democratic Republic" (East Germany).

	I guess the lack of government in Somalia disqualifies it from this list.

	Shame on you Belarus. We are very disappointed in you

	Last time I checked, Vatican City wasn't exactly a democracy...

	Perhaps another minute? Also, you should accept "Rep of Congo".

	smarty:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 08:54 GMT	2 points
	accept roc for republic of congo. also, i missed north korea (??? i'm shocked too)

	i tried kyrgyzstan as my first former soviet 'stan, and when it didn't show up, i moved on to different parts of the world. what a mistake that was.

	Am I the only one who tried Vatican City? Guess they didn't included it. xD

	The country that just banned slavery comes in at 118. You go Mauritania!

	The only people who live in Vatican City are high church officials who are there by choice. The pope may have 100% rule there but its not like he has death squads looking for dissenters.

	gowhere:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 16:22 GMT	1 point
	A number of the countries listed here do not have'deaths squads looking for dissenters.' I think the source just didn'tgo there with countries like the vatican and Monaco.

	They didn't go to microstates by the look of it, since Brunei isn't here either. And about Belarus, yeah, they call the leader the last dictator of Europe, a guy who just kept playing it like it was the Cold War. Alexander Lukashenko.

	crover:	May 2nd, 2010 at 06:34 GMT	2 points
	wooo go Lukashenko! Cannot believe I forgot Belarus. Zephos: I was surprised Brunei wasn't here as well. It should be.

	segacs:	Jul 22nd, 2011 at 15:17 GMT	1 point
	Updated for the 2010 figures. Some of the response percentages might not be accurate, due to new countries being added. Sadly, the world has gotten less democratic in the past two years.
