San Marino
San Marino is a parliamentary democracy in which political rights and civil liberties are generally upheld. Corruption is a problem, and while investigative journalists are active, the risk of heavy fines for defamation can encourage self-censorship. The country’s judicial system is not sufficiently independent and professional. Women are underrepresented in politics.
