Description

The State Legitimacy Indicator considers the representativeness and openness of government and its relationship with its citizenry. The Indicator looks at the population’s level of confidence in state institutions and processes, and assesses the effects where that confidence is absent, manifested through mass public demonstrations, sustained civil disobedience, or the rise of armed insurgencies. Though the State Legitimacy indicator does not necessarily make a judgment on democratic governance, it does consider the integrity of elections where they take place (such as flawed or boycotted elections), the nature of political transitions, and where there is an absence of democratic elections, the degree to which the government is representative of the population of which it governs. The Indicator takes into account openness of government, specifically the openness of ruling elites to transparency, accountability and political representation, or conversely the levels of corruption, profiteering, and marginalizing, persecuting, or otherwise excluding opposition groups. The Indicator also considers the ability of a state to exercise basic functions that infer a population’s confidence in its government and institutions, such as through the ability to collect taxes. Quality/Lineage: The data is downloaded from the above link http://fundforpeace.org/fsi/indicators/p1/ and manipulated only table format keeping the value same for all the countries as the requirement of the Strive database. The map is created based on the values of the country using rworldmap package in R.

Expected crawler behaviour

Use a stable, truthful User-Agent with product/version and a working contact URL. Across all IP addresses and HTTP connections used by one crawler identity, allow no more than 5 requests in flight and wait at least 20 seconds between request starts. Crawl URLs listed in the catalog sitemap, including file pages and download URLs when they are published, use conditional requests, honor Retry-After, and apply exponential backoff after errors.

The welcome page may link to the interactive repository for human navigation. Automated clients must not treat that human link as a catalog crawl target.

Read the live machine-readable crawler policy before and during a crawl. Stop crawling when it reports CPU or memory utilization at or above 80% and 80% respectively.
