The Polity conceptual scheme is unique in that it examines concomitant qualities of democratic and autocratic authority in governing institutions, rather than discreet and mutually exclusive forms of governance. This perspective envisions a spectrum of governing authority that spans from fully institutionalized autocracies through mixed, or incoherent, authority regimes (termed "anocracies") to fully institutionalized democracies. The "Polity Score" captures this regime authority spectrum on a 21‐point scale ranging from ‐10 (hereditary monarchy) to +10 (consolidated democracy). The Polity scores can also be converted to regime categories: we recommend a three‐part categorization of "autocracies" (‐10 to ‐6), "anocracies" (‐5 to +5 and the Polity IV three special values: ‐66, ‐77, and ‐88), and "democracies" (+6 to +10); http://www.systemicpeace.org/inscr/inscr.htm database see "Global Regimes by Type, 1946‐2006" above. The Polity scheme consists of six component measures that record key qualities of executive recruitment, constraints on executive authority, and political competition. It also records changes in the institutionalized qualities of governing authority. The Polity data include information only on the institutions of the central government and on political groups acting, or reacting, within the scope of that authority. It does not include consideration of groups and territories that are actively removed from that authority (i.e., separatists or "fragments"; these are considered separate, though not independent, polities) or segments of the population that are not yet effectively politicized in relation to central state politics. 18 Population Population ranking table. http://data.worldbank.org/DATA‐CATALOG
