We use reliable sources for all the major indexes. Government stability is a metric listed on https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/economies/ (TheGlobalEconomy.com), the Corruption Index is posted and published by https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2020/index/ (Transparency International), and, of course, the most important and famous collection of data, the Democracy Index is created by https://www.economist.com/graphicdetail/2021/02/02/global-democracy-has-a-very-bad-year (The Economist).

All other data should be reliably sourced from other places on the Internet.

Please note that we manually approve every post entered on the map before it can be viewed by others, so don't be foolish.
