None.

None, human beings can not handle democracy, they need leadership. As soon as you pick someone to lead you then you have given your freedom away.

1) Nowhere will you find an *ideal* democracy. And nearly all countries have the view that they are democracies. But we can try to measure where democracy is better realized than elsewhere (how to do this is controversial, though). "Governments not self identified as democratic: Vatican City, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar and Brunei." >>>> All other governments *self identify* as democratic!!! 2) "Currently, there are 123 countries that are democratic, and the trend is increasing (up from 40 in 1972). As such, it has been speculated that this trend may continue in the future to the point where liberal democratic nation-states become the universal standard form of human society. This prediction forms the core of Francis Fukayama's "End of History" controversial theory. These theories are criticized by those who fear an evolution of liberal democracies to post-democracy, and other who points out the high number of illiberal democracies." Source and further information (points 1 and 2): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy 3) "The Economist has in a study examined the state of democracy in 167 countries and attempted to quantify this with an Economist Intelligence Unit Index of Democracy which focused on five general categories: electoral process and pluralism, civil liberties, functioning of government, political participation and political culture. According to Economist Intelligence Unit's Democracy Index 2008 Sweden scored a total of 9.88 on a scale from zero to ten, which was the highest result, while North Korea scored the lowest with 0.86. The countries are categorized into "Full Democracies", "Flawed Democracies", "Hybrid Regimes" (all considered democracies), and "Authoritarian Regimes" (considered dictatorial)." "there are a few questions considered so important that a low score on them yields a penalty on the total score sum for their respective categories, namely - "Whether national elections are free and fair"; - "The security of voters"; - "The influence of foreign powers on government"; - "The capability of the civil servants to implement policies". The five category indices, which all are listed in the report, are then averaged to find the democracy index for a given country. Finally, the democracy index, rounded to one decimal, decides the classification of the country, as quoted: - Full democracies—scores of 8-10. - Flawed democracies—scores of 6 to 7.9. - Hybrid regimes—scores of 4 to 5.9. - Authoritarian regimes—scores below 4."
