all of the Muslim world except tiny oil rich Emirates controlled by monarchies (so the people can't vote and make them awful).
When you don't have a culture of innovation and one that doesn't value and stress education and innovation, the sad truth is election based forms of government tend to not work so well because there are too many dopey people voting and you get what you vote for. That's why democrats like to bus in highly uneducated people from highly dysfunctional communities to vote.
