Democracy

After much improvement, a global democratic decline began in 2006:

(MJ disclaimer: bogus graph. Graphs should start with 0 on the Y axis to get an accurate picture of absolute numbers)

This was marked when the number of countries that worsened in their democracy - overtaking the number of countries that improved. About 60 declined, and 55 improved. And that was just the beginning. By 2017, 70 countries declined that year, and only 30 improved. Think about that!
