The '''Obadiah Democracy Index''' is an index composed by the [[Zoeng Institute]], a thinktank that serves as the political science section of [[Obadiah Sciences Inc.]], a [[Great Kashini]] and [[Ceironia|Ceironian Union]] based research company which itself is a subsidiary of the [[Obadiah Conglomerate]]. Similar to the [[Meridian Development Index]], also formulated by the Zoeng Institute, the index primarily revolves around political rights. Other internationally relevant indexes of similar nature include the [[Sapient Development Index]], [[Grigorevich's Freedom Standard]] and the [[Species Equality Index]]. |

A country's ranking on the index is judged through a series of fifty matters, of which measure political freedoms, plurality in governance, equality in liberties amongst other matters. An average is sorted upon the judging of all fifty cases, with a low score indicating a low level of democratic integrity, and a high suggesting the contrary. Depending on the average, the nation is slotted into one of five categories: full democracies, flawed democracies, hybrid regimes, autocratic regimes, or totalitarian regimes. |
