Incidentally, most nations have a history involving displacement of people who lived in the area (Australia has the Aboriginal people, America has the Native Americans, etc). That doesn't stop people from considering those nations to be democracies. | |

| Jun 6, 2015 at 23:51 | comment | added | user5341 | To see the government stats and police reporting fallacy, here's one example (of many similar): Israel gets 0.9 on sexual violence (out of 10) - based on what data that gives Turkey 9.8? I can guess - on rape reporting. To see the absurdity of their methodology, Sweden gets 0 out of 10... must be really a rape capital of the world. | |
| Jun 6, 2015 at 23:48 | comment | added | user5341 | Overall, a great answer. However, it's marred by relying on the (with all due respect to Cato institute) unmitigated BS that is their Fraser Institute personal freedom's index. I looked into their actual index details and they are... less than accurate shall we say? First off, numeric methodology. They seem to (1) rely on government statistics and reporting; and (2) rate "Not available" data as non-ratable - which in many cases skips obviously problematic stats. | |
