Sweden Most Democratic Nation in the World:
According to the acclaimed journal The Economist, the most democratic country in the world is The Kingdom of Sweden, closely followed by the usual suspects of its fellow Nordic countries and the Netherlands. The United States of America---a medium-sized country that occupies the portion of North America between Canada and Mexico, and a host of other countries, whose former regimes some US government disliked---ends up in a pitiful 17th place, due the recent deterioration of Civil Liberties and Human Rights in the wake of the so-called War on Terror. "We're still ahead of Iraq, Iran, and North Korea," comments US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the Swedish World News. "That's what really matters."
