High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!

Sometimes referred to as the "KK," "KKZ" or "KKM" indicators, they measure the quality of governance in over 200 countries, based on close to 40 data sources produced by over 30 different organizations worldwide and are updated on an annual basis since 2002.
