LIBERTY–CAPABILITY INSIGHT
Georgia scores 85.9 on the HCI against a Liberty score of 38 — a 47.9-point gap placing it firmly in the “capable autocracy” quadrant. The state delivers meaningful human development without corresponding political freedom. Cross-national evidence shows this configuration is historically unstable: most countries either democratize as capabilities rise or see stagnation set in.
