167 countries around the world cover almost all the total population of the world. These countries are clustered into four different clusters as per their democracy index scores (DIS) that was introduced by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). The EIU introduced this DIS first time in the year 2006. But after running some statistical tests, it is found that some countries are falling into some clusters where they are not supposed to be. So, in this study we have revisited the EIU data and found that there are some statistically significant differences among some of the countries included in the adjacent clusters. It was found that by implementing proper statistical clustering and classification techniques the number countries in each cluster was changed significantly. It is also found that the new arrangement of countries in each of the clusters are statistically robust both parametrically and non-parametrically. Another interesting finding of this study was to determine appropriate countries for each of the cluster members so that any government or non-government organizations (e.g.: IMF, WHO, ADB, WB) who are deciding body to make a monetary sanction to any specific country to improve the democracy, to vitalize the infrastructure or other development related projects can have a statistical stand point to back up their decision with certain level of certainty.
