Today's OTL types of economies, societies and regimes

N.B: This page is meant as a guide to what today's governments, press freedom, corruption index, GDP, internet, human rights, literacy, health care, economic types, etc are. This article is intended to help those writing a scenario about global and local issues such as atomic arms, starvation, the internet and trade blocs.
==Types of government==
Internationally defined types of government. Note: Currently there are no militarily dictatorships, but Thailand is a de facto one.

Monarchies in red and republics in blue. Malaysia's king is an elected elder statesman.
===Authoritarian regimes===
Authoritarian regimes. The UK media regard Uzbekistan as at the bad end of the authoritarian scale and Kazakhstan at the good end of the scale. Example- , , , , , and .
Fully elected democracies. According to the UK, French and USA media that systems in Kazakhstan and S. Africa'sis not really democratic since the polling has an inherent bias to the ANC and Nur Otan (most TV campaigning time is given to them and so on). According to the UK, Irish, Polish, French and USA media Russia was never really a democracy since it regularly jails political opponents and beats up anti-government voters. According to the UK, French and Italian press ballot stuffing, tampered with voting machines and beating up anti-government voters became the trend in parts of the UK, USA, Kazakhstan and Spain since circa 2005. There are frequent reports in European, Australian, NZ and North American papers of ballot stuffing, stolen ballot boxes, violence towards opposition voters and tampered voting machines in Ukraine, Brazil, Mexico, India, Pakistan, Kenya Romania, Albania, Belorussian, Thailand, PNG and Indonesia. Democracy is dead in the USA according to UK and EU media as both the Democrats and the Republicans hog the limelight, bribe electoral officials, beat up Green party and Libertine members, role in cash and rig the ballot.
===Ballot fraud.===
.
==Press freedom==
Official press freedom levels. Syria's press was always loyal to the Assad regime, but the civil-war has lead to even stricter rules. It does cover the state, firms and individuals wanting to cover up scandals like pedophilia rings, but it does not include the illegal shootings of libelous cartoonists who mock Mohamed.
==Corruption index==
Economic and state corruption. Examples- , , , , , , and .
==Trade blocks==
International trade blocks.
==Economic type==
thumb|850px|Economic type.
Laissez-faire capitalists (blue), former Laissez-faire capitalists (light blue), Marxist-Leninist Communist states who went Laissez-faire capitalists (purple), Marxist-Leninist Communist states (red) and former Communist states (orange) of the world.
===Unemployment===
The % who are jobless. By what I have witnessed and have gathered from friends and online friends it is nothing like the British, Greek, Russian, Spanish, Bosnian and American governments say. Russia, Bosnia and America are noticeably worse in places, the UK has only a few places outside the Conservative Part's hart-lands not in utter destitution, while Spain and Greece are in total societal collapse. The British TV documentary Panorama claimed the streets of Stockport, Middlesbough and Bristol are choked with jobless, penniless, sometimes homeless and often starving wretches, who live only on charitable food donations and pay day loans.

===Online censorship and blocking===
YouTube bans.
Online censorship and internet bans.
===419_scams===
419 scams are a type of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, which the fraudster requires a small up-front payment to obtain. If a victim makes the payment, the fraudster either invents a series of further fees for the victim, or simply disappears. The number "419" refers to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code dealing with fraud.
===Spam mail===
Spam e-mails are the on line variant of junk mail/faxes and telephone cold calls.
===Malwear===
Malwere is a commuter various that disrupts, disables and/or destroys your computer's programming.
===Spywere===
Spywere is a commuter various that allows others to snoop on your computer's activity with out your consent. Examples are- , and .
===Hackers===
Hackers are those people who enter your computer illegally, via a clandestine computer online tool kit, to steal your online information like log-in passwords or wreck it's programming. Exsample- .
===Kernel stripping programming devices===
In computing, the kernel is a computer program that manages input/output requests from software, and translates them into data processing instructions for the central processing unit and other electronic components of a computer. The kernel is a fundamental part of a modern computer's operating system. For computer programmers, the kernel's interface is a low-level abstraction layer. Kernel stripping devices are a form of malwear that deletes the Kernel.
Because of its critical nature, the kernel code is usually loaded into a protected area of memory, which prevents it from being overwritten by other, less frequently used parts of the operating system or by application programs. The kernel performs its tasks, such as executing processes and handling interrupts, in kernel space, whereas everything a user normally does, such as writing text in a text editor or running programs in a GUI (graphical user interface), is done in user space. This separation is made in order to prevent user data and kernel data from interfering with each other and thereby diminishing performance or causing the system to become unstable (and possibly crashing).

===Hospital beads per 1,000 people.===
Hospital beads per 1,000 people. UK figures are nothing like the official ones, it's horrific. 25% of nurses are foreign imports and many GPs are locums. The government has closed down several hospitals, shut many more wards and slashed staffing numbers. The only two things they care about are money and eventually selling it off. , , , and .

==Life expectancy at birth==
thumb|850px|Life expectancy at birth in 2012.
Life expectancy at birth in 2012. War, civil war, AIDS, poverty and violent crime ruins figures for places like Afghanistan, Colombia, S. Africa and Somalia. Counter to what the politicians, officials and experts say; the USA, Russia, UK, Greece, Spain and Ukraine also suffer badly with obesity, cancer, AIDS, poverty and violent crime, which ruins unofficial figures. To find the truth cut about 5 to 10 years off the official figures on the map for the USA, Russia, UK, Greece, Spain and Ukraine.
==Starvation==
The % who are starving according to the UN's definition of 'starving'. By what I have witnessed and have gathered from friends and online friends it is nothing like the British, Greek, Russian, Spanish, Bosnian and American governments say. Russia, Bosnia and America are noticeably worse in places, the UK has only a few places outside the Conservative Party's hart-lands not in utter destitution, while Spain and Greece are in total societal collapse. The British TV documentary Panorama claimed the streets of Stockport, Middlesbough and Bristol are choked with jobless, penniless, sometimes homeless and often starving wretches, who live only on charitable food donations and pay day loans.
==Poverty.==
A CIA World Factbook-based map showing the percentage of population by country living below that country's official poverty line. By what I have witnessed and have gathered from friends and online friends it is nothing like the British, Greek, Russian, Spanish, Bosnian and American governments say. Russia, Bosnia and America are noticeably worse in places, the UK has only a few places outside the Conservative Part's hart-lands not in utter destitution, while Spain and Greece are in total societal collapse. The British TV documentary Panorama claimed the streets of Stockport, Middlesbough and Bristol are choked with jobless, penniless, sometimes homeless and often starving wretches, who live only on charitable food donations and pay day loans.
The % of people living on $2 (PPP) a day according to the UN.
