    "Democracies are understood here as having broadly open, multi-party, and competitive elections choosing a chief executive who faces comprehensive institutional constraints, and competitive political participation.",
    "The variable distinguishes between autocracies (score of 0), anocracies (score of 1), democracies aged 1-18 years (score of 2), 19-30 years (score of 3), 31-60 years (score of 4), 61-90 years (score of 5), and 91+ years (score of 6)."
