This question pertains to the classification of countries according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) Democracy Index. The Democracy Index categorizes countries into four types of regimes based on their scores: full democracies, flawed democracies, hybrid regimes, and authoritarian regimes. The scores are derived from evaluating electoral processes and pluralism, civil liberties, the functioning of government, political participation, and political culture.

A country will be considered as newly classified as a full democracy if it is reclassified from a lower category (flawed democracy, hybrid regime, or authoritarian regime) to the full democracy category in the 2024 Democracy Index report, which will be published in early 2025.

Resolution Criteria:

• The question will resolve to YES for any country that moves from a lower category (flawed democracy, hybrid regime, or authoritarian regime) to the full democracy category in the 2024 report.
