Some of the reports are <A HREF="http://www.economist.com/ratings" REL="nofollow">published freely</A>. Most notably, the <A HREF="http://www.economist.com/media/pdf/DEMOCRACY_INDEX_2007_v3.pdf" REL="nofollow">Democracy index</A> places Czech Republic six places above UK and seven above France. Shocking for some maybe.
