Edit: full list without paying for the economist, as provided by belsarius below - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index

These ranking are always flawed, but interesting.

Paywall, and full disclosure, I don't have access, so the article could present a very different case than the headline and map plebs like me access.

But from reading the map:

"Full Democracy"
1. Norway - value 9.81
2. Iceland
3. Sweden
4. New Zealand
5. Canada - value - 9.24
6. Finland
7. Denmark
8. Ireland
9. Australia - value 8.96
10. Netherlands
11. Taiwan
12. Switzerland
13. ??? Cannot find Luxembourg
14. Germany
15. Uruguay - surprise to me
16. Britain
17. Chile
18. Austria
19. Costa Rica
.....
23. South Korea

"Flawed Democracy (appears to be values <8.0)"
24. France
25 - USA
