You won’t always have your book on hand. So here’s the long-term Ovation measure for your smartphone, i.e. from 2035 to 2040:

Introducing the world’s first independent authority on democracy – GOLD, which stands for Global Organization for Liberal Democracies. GOLD is designed for everyone interested in politics, particularly those outside democratic societies. The mission is to strengthen belief in democratic values. Currently, there is no independent advocate of democracy anywhere in the world – no organization dedicated solely to defending democratic principles by credibly and openly acknowledging within individual democratic societies and advocating for the correct path forward. In the absence of such an independent organization, people in non-democratic states must scrutinize individual democratic states and, in turn, their perceived or actual missteps. For instance, the US attack on Iraq, which violated international law, exemplifies how democracies themselves can pose a threat to the democratization of societies that are not (yet) democratic. What is missing is GOLD: the Global Organization for Liberal Democracies.
