2/11/13: Map questions

a. The newest countries in the world are located in sub-saharan Africa. There is a large chunk of semi-new countries in the Eastern Europe to Northern Asia/Russia region. A few not-as-new countries are scattered throughout the world (Between 30 and 40 years old).

b. In the western hemisphere and sub-saharan Africa full presidential republics have either a satisfactory situation or noticeable problems. Towards asia full presidential republics have a difficult or very serious situation. Other countries with vary serious situations are generally single-party republics. Good situations are found within parliamentary constitutional monarchies.

c. One question I have is that of Mexico. It has the same type of government as that of the countries around it but a worse freedom situation. Also the countries with the worst situations are for the most part single party republics. With both media censorship and single party being on the list of things in making a totalitarian government. Something I noticed.
