Democracy Ranking is an independent initiative, whose organization is located in Vienna, Austria. Democracy Ranking produces an annual global ranking of democracies. The list contains 104 countries. The rating announced in Vienna is formed on the basis of political, economic and gender indicators as well as level of corruption. The rating also focuses on accessibility of health care and education for citizens and foreigners. The efforts in preservation of the environment are also evaluated. In drawing up the classifications are taken into account 60 different indicators, grouped into 5 categories: elections and pluralism, civil liberties, government activities, political engagement of the population and the political culture. For the first time the index was compiled in 2006, amended in 2008, 2010 and 2011.
