Serious question, are there locales with a consistently good track record on this? I have only seen news stories of when it goes wrong and it's difficult to calibrate %s for each region. Like the US is often good for rule of law, but there are a lot of notable counter examples. In this article, around the UK, it's difficult to get a sense of how often this sort of thing is happening especially relative to other western places.
I suspect that virtually every country does this sort of thing regularly and the incentives to stop have got to be much more severe than tourism and conference hostings, there is just too long of a road from that to domestic voter outrage to actually endanger lawmakers jobs. We have to get people to care about it through arguing I think.
