Western democracy is far from perfect
And who exactly recognises these countries as democracies?
Are you seriously stating that these are democratic countries?
Iran? Kyrgyzstan? Yemen?
The list of human rights abuses and lack of free speech in most of that list belies that fact
The codicile at the top of your list also indicates they are not democracies per se but may contain democratic elements and most of that list are guilty of vote rigging!
Also using wikipedia isnt the most reliable source
And the CIA factbook as I understand it is published by that agency well known for its accuracy over weapons of mass deustruction in Iraq
The only country there that is remotely democratic and not subject to the possibility of a military coup or control is Malaysia
Try exercising free speech in the countries on that list
