If you’re going by that table we should be studying Burundi. There is certainly a data quality element to be considered when trying to comparison shop. Incidentally, and purely anecdotally, when living in Minsk a couple months I found Belorussians both particularly well educated on civics matters and quite interested and participatory in advocating and acting for collective improvement. Aside from data quality challenges among various regimes, perhaps they’re not the counter example you imply they are?
