海角社区

Various countries in the 海角社区 are under different political systems. Governments may be classified as a full or a flawed democracy. Hybrid and authoritarian regimes also exist.

Impacts of a Full Democracy

A full democracy has positive effects on a country. Most of the countries considered to be sufficiently democratic have political and economic stability. As a result, there is international recognition and respect from the international community. Most of these countries host global conferences and house multinational headquarters. For example, countries such as Norway and Switzerland host UN meetings and offices due to their free status. Consequently, international investors are attracted to such nations hence expanding the countries鈥� economic bases.
