The opposite seems self evident to me. Saner decision making: Switzerland > US > Egypt > North Korea Level of democracy: Switzerland > US > Egypt > North Korea I used to think Singapore was a good example of "benevolent dictatorship", but after living here for a few years I've come to understand that this isn't the case. The ruling party has made some spectacularly bad decisions that they wouldn't have without more democratic accountability, and many of the good decisions they did make were stolen from the opposition (whomever they happened to be at the time).
