Countries
Every country in the data
218 countries and territories. Each has the measures its publishers report. Where enough of them exist, it also has a score for each topic (such as governance). 179 have a governance score. The rest are missing too much data on that topic to get one. They are left blank rather than given a worse score.
Values are the most recent value in 2010-2025. The governance score below is only a rough guide. It is the topic with data for the most countries, and it is partly income-linked.
