Least and most democratic countries per the 2024 World Democracy Index

Published by Zeynep Dierks, Jan 22, 2026

The 2024 Democracy Index ranks Norway as the most democratic country in the world. This means that civil and political liberties are respected, voter turnout is high, and the judiciary is independent. Flawed democracies such as France, the United States, or Argentina show certain weaknesses in terms of freedom, political participation, or government functioning. Afghanistan, reconquered by the Taliban, occupies the last place in the ranking. In this country, almost all individual freedoms are now prohibited and the governmental organization is unstable.
