"What it's Like to Live in a Well Governed Country"

What makes a country well-run? Whether minimising corruption or spearheading educational and medical initiatives, governments around the world use different policies to facilitate a high-functioning society. To quantify the effectiveness of these policies, indexes like the World Justice Project’s Rule of Law Index, the World Bank’s Governance Index and the Social Progress Index survey residents, compile publicly available statistics and rank countries based on their performance across different categories.

While each index varies in their precise ranking, certain patterns emerge across all three, with the same countries consistently at the top for their progressive social policies, trust in government and effective justice system

When I clicked on the link to "Rule of Law Index" - I got a Server Error Notice.

Just as well, since the Rule of Law is long dead in WI.

The Constitution is only applicable when it supports the otherwise illegal and unlawful activities of Politicians - otherwise, it is irrelevant.
