A Map That Tracks The State Of Democracy

As we're sure everyone out there already knows, democracy requires constant upkeep. And this map shows exactly why. It shows the state of democracy throughout the world, including in countries that are traditionally thought of as being very free, such as the U.S., France, Canada, and Japan.
