Drag and drop the countries to list them in order form the most fully democratic (top) to the least democratic (bottom)

Question

Vietnam and Laos

Indonesia and the Philippines

Thailand and Myanmar

Answer 1

Here’s an order of the countries from the most fully democratic to the least democratic based on their general governance and democratic processes:

1. Indonesia (partly democratic, with a relatively robust electoral system)
2. Philippines (democratic, though facing challenges such as corruption and political instability)
3. Thailand (has experienced military coups and has a mixed record on democracy)
4. Vietnam (single-party state with limited political freedoms)
5. Laos (also a single-party state with very restricted political rights)
6. Myanmar (historically military-ruled, moved toward democracy but faced a military coup in 2021, leading to a severe regression in democratic governance)

So the order is:

1. Indonesia and the Philippines
2. Thailand
3. Vietnam and Laos
4. Myanmar
