Democracy varies. Some countries are more "democratic" than others. However, as a rule, ALL of the members of the European Union (EU) have to be democratic. Also, most (if not all) of the countries of the Caribbean and Latin America are democracies now. The former British colonies of Canada, Australia and New Zealand are also democracies. Finally, several important countries in Asia are currently democratic including India, Japan, Indonesia and Thailand. In Africa, South Africa and Tunisia are both democracies.

There are many countries which claim to be "democratic" but are actually not democratic. A good example is the "Democratic Republic of Korea" (North Korea) which is not democratic at all. Russia also claims to be a democracy but it is not regarded as a "free and fair" democracy because not all the candidates in their elections have the same chances of winning.

Most nations within Latin America are capitalist developing countries; some are more developed than others. For example, Argentina and Chile have an income per capita of US$18,400 and US$18,700 respectively; other countries are less developed such as Brazil with an income of US$12,100 and there are a couple of countries that are deemed as "least developed", such as Bolivia and Haiti, with incomes of US$5,200 and US$1,300, respectively. Means of production and economy also wildly varies among these, for the same reasons.

How did the US Get along with other countries?

usually the US and that country had a battle at some point or fought on their land and they decided to trade with the US and they probably dont like each other but they are still trading "buddies". The US gets along with other countries because they have an understanding of what we are capable of. Plus we always are helping other countries which results in getting their respect(sometimes, some countries are selfish). But what binds us most of all to other countries is that they know they are safe as long as the usa is around
