The source specifies that the Democracy Index measures the categories of "electoral process and pluralism, the functioning of government, political participation, political culture, and civil liberties.".
According to the score, countries are assigned a different type of regime:
Full democracies: over 8 points
Flawed democracies: greater than 6, and less than or equal to 8
Hybrid regimes: greater than 4, and less than or equal to 6
Authoritarian regimes: 0-4 points
In 2022, Tunisia had a democracy index of **** points, ranking first in North Africa. It was classified as a "hybrid regime", together with Morocco which obtained **** points. In contrast, the other countries resulted under authoritarian rule. In particular, Libya, Sudan, and Egypt were among the least democratic countries in the world.
