I don’t have that Economist issue on me right now but I’m sure it’s online. It’s a Democracy Index based on various criteria. Canada and usual European countries at top then USA, Israel etc. I think Turkey and Jordan were next best Middle East countries but still far down. Most countries made sense and not too many really jumped out at the time. Israel ranking made sense to me but maybe would feel different now with conflict.
