Bias
[edit]
This very biased, in my opinion. Calling the United States a pure democracy, under what statistics? There have obviously been non-democratic events within this democracy, and several ongoing fallacies, so I would claim this to not be true. Seeing as it is a self made map, that would confirm my thoughts.
Self-made map? Who's supposed to make it, someone who is not themselves? That wouldn't confirm anything.
Shade
[edit]
I think it's too pale. You can barely see USA and Canada. I think you should either use a darker shade or change the colour of the sea. --Bsrboy 16:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
I second that, I would put the countries on a blue scale.
Just pick two colors, not one. Have it go from one color to another, not light to dark shades of one hue.
Estonia
[edit]
Are you sure about Estonia?? It seems to be darker than Russia, Ukraine or Serbia. I haven't seen anywhere that Latvia and Lithuania are more democratic than Estonia. H2ppyme (talk) 21:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Estonia indeed scored lower than its neighbors, apparently for the most part thanks to its citizenship/disenfranchisement issues for ethnic minorities. 155.246.108.19 (talk) 05:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I found the reason for that already. Still, it's quite weird, putting Estonia to the same group with Iran..H2ppyme (talk) 14:13, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- It is lighter than Iran actually. It's on the same level as Serbia and Venezuela. Kami888 (talk) 19:39, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Iraq
[edit]
Hi, the map is a bit out of date. Iraq has set democracy some years ago and its democratic system works better year to year —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.177.163.185 (talk) 19:23, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
