Types of government[]

Monarchies are in red and republics in blue. Malaysia's king is an elected elder statesman.

Authoritarian regimes[]

Form of government with Freedom House 2 — Authoritarian regimes.

Authoritarian regimes. The UK media regard Uzbekistan as at the bad end of the authoritarian scale and Kazakhstan at the good end of the scale. Examples of such regimes- [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and [7].

Electoral democracies — Fully elected democracies.

Fully elected democracies. According to the UK, French and USA media that systems in Kazakhstan and S. Africa's is not really democratic since the polling has an inherent bias to the ANC and Nur Otan (most TV campaigning time is given to them and so on). According to the UK, Irish, Polish, French and USA media Russia was never really a democracy since it regularly jails political opponents and beats up anti-government voters. According to the UK, French and Italian press ballot stuffing, tampered with voting machines and beating up anti-government voters became the trend in parts of the UK, USA, Kazakhstan and Spain since circa 2005.

There are frequent reports in European, Australian, NZ and North American papers of ballot stuffing, stolen ballot boxes, violence towards opposition voters and tampered voting machines in Ukraine, Brazil, Mexico, India, Pakistan, Kenya Romania, Albania, Belorussian, Thailand, PNG and Indonesia. Democracy is dead in the USA according to UK and EU media as both the Democrats and the Republicans hog the limelight, bribe electoral officials, beat up Green party and Libertine members, role in cash and rig the ballot.

Ballot fraud.[]

Press freedom[]

Official press freedom levels. Syria's press was always loyal to the Assad regime, but the civil war has led to even stricter rules. It dose cover the state, firms and individuals wanting to cover up scandals like pedophilia rings, but it dose not include the illegal shootings of libelous cartoonists who mock Mohamed or the British government's attempts to wind down and eventually sell off the BBC .

Unemployment[]

The percentage who are jobless. By what I have witnessed and have gathered from friends and online friends it is nothing like the British, Greek, Russian, Spanish, Bosnian and American governments say. Russia, Bosnia and America are noticeably worse in places, the UK has only a few places outside the Conservative Part's heartlands not in utter destitution, while Spain and Greece are in total societal collapse. The British TV documentary Panorama claimed the streets of Stockport, Middlesborough and Bristol are choked with jobless, penniless, sometimes homeless and often starving wretches, who live only on charitable food donations and pay day loans.

Due to the high status of the Soviet Union as a super power, Russian gained a great political importance in the second half of the 20th century. It is one of the official languages of the United Nations. All astronauts working in the International Space Station are required to master Russian. Author: Wiki Commons User:NuclearVacuum.

419 scams[]

419 scams are a type of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, which the fraudster requires a small up-front payment to obtain. If a victim makes the payment, the fraudster either invents a series of further fees for the victim, or simply disappears. The number "419" refers to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code dealing with fraud.

Kernel stripping programming devices[]

In computing, the kernel is a computer program that manages input/output requests from software, and translates them into data processing instructions for the central processing unit and other electronic components of a computer. The kernel is a fundamental part of a modern computer's operating system. For computer programmers, the kernel's interface is a low-level abstraction layer. Kernel stripping devices are a form of malware that deletes the Kernel.

Because of its critical nature, the kernel code is usually loaded into a protected area of memory, which prevents it from being overwritten by other, less frequently used parts of the operating system or by application programs. The kernel performs its tasks, such as executing processes and handling interrupts, in kernel space, whereas everything a user normally does, such as writing text in a text editor or running programs in a GUI (graphical user interface), is done in user space. This separation is made in order to prevent user data and kernel data from interfering with each other and thereby diminishing performance or causing the system to become unstable (and possibly crashing).

Russia, Bosnia and America are noticeably worse in places, the UK has only a few places outside the Conservative Party's hart-lands not in utter destitution, while Spain and Greece are in total societal collapse.

GDP and state debt[]

Nominal GDP per head statistics[]

Note: GDP per head/per capita statistics start at various times, with some like USSR and Saudi Arabia starting in 1970. Modern figures some times quote retrospectively the USSR's republics' statistics as if they were independent nations, which they were not, but because the USSR was so dominated by Russia that it's stats per capita can be use in place of the USSR's. Modern figures some times quote retrospectively Yemen, Vietnam and Germany as if they a united and not divided in two by Cold War Geopolitics. N. Yemen, S. Vietnam and W. Germany had about 33% more economic production than S. Yemen, N. Vietnam and E. Germany. Modern figures some times quote retrospectively Ethiopia's and Eritrea's republics' statistics as if they were independent nations, which they were not, but because the old Ethiopia was so dominated by modern Ethiopia that it's stats per capita can be use in place of the old Ethiopia's. Modern figures some times quote retrospectively for Czechia, Slovakia and the former Yugoslavia as if they independent nations, which they were not, but the united figures were roughly between those of Slovakia and Czechia for Czechoslovakia and between to the of Serbia and Croatia for Yugoslavia. Modern figures some times quote retrospectively for N. Sudan and S. Sudan as if they were independent nations, which they were not, but Sudan was so dominated by N. Sudan that it's stats per capita can be use in place of Sudan's.

Hospital beds per 1,000 people. UK figures are nothing like the official ones, it's horrific. 25% of nurses are foreign imports and many GPs are locums.

Life expectancy at birth[]

Note: Modern figures some times quote retrospectively the USSR's republics' statistics as if they were independent nations, which they were not, but because the USSR was so dominated by Russia that it's stats can be use in place of the USSR's. Modern figures some times quote retrospectively Yemen, Vietnam and Germany as if they a united and not divided in two by Cold War Geopolitics. N. Yemen, S. Vietnam and W. Germany had about 5-10 more years lifespan than S. Yemen, N. Vietnam and E. Germany.

.

Life expectancy at birth in 2012. War, civil war, AIDS, poverty and violent crime ruins figures for places like Afghanistan, Colombia, S. Africa and Somalia. Counter to what the politicians, officials and experts say; the USA, Russia, UK, Greece, Spain and Ukraine also suffer badly with obesity, cancer, AIDS, poverty and violent crime, which ruins unofficial figures. To find the approximate truth after 2010, cut about 5 to 10 years off the official figures on the map for the USA, Russia, UK, Greece, Spain, Ukraine and sub-Saharan Africa.

Land mine casualties and fatalities — Chances of treading on a anti-personnel mine.

English: A schematic showing the countries with more than 100 victims of land-mines recorded between 1999 and 2010. The map uses data from International Campaign To Ban Land-mines - Cluster Munition Coalition . It was made based on the map shown in National geographic magazine January 2012, see http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2012/01/landmines/jenkins-text Dark red = very high number of casualties and fatalities Light red = high number of casualties and fatalities Yellow = moderate number of casualties and fatalities Note though that depending on the color and the size of the country, the mine-density and probability rate of actually encountering/stepping on a mine varies. For example, Russia has a moderate amount of victims, yet the country is very large; hence a country like Albania, Burundi or Rwanda actually has a much higher probability rate of encountering/stepping on a mine.

Korea have a lot of political prisoners. Teenage gags runied El Salvador's slums and California's inner cities in the 2000's.
