This interactive visualizations offer detailed comparison of governance, economic conditions, and social stability in Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Syrian Arabic Republic from 2003 to 2021. The analysis begins with a look at corruption control, where Canada exhibits consistent strength in governance. This is visually represented in our map by lighter regions indicating lower inflation, emphasizing Canada’s economic stability. Where also in the third visual, it is shown the absence of terrorism and violence acts.

Turning to Saudi Arabia, its control of corruption is less stringent compared to Canada. This is reflected in the map, where Saudi Arabia is depicted with a darker color than Canada, indicating higher inflation rates. Additionally, in our bar chart analysis of the absence of violence, Saudi Arabia falls into the negative region, suggesting the presence of some violence and instability.

The situation in Syria, especially after the war began in 2011, shows a stark difference. Governance control deteriorates , mirrored by the country’s severe inflation and diminishing peace and stability. The map distinctly shows Syria in darker shades, signifying high inflation levels. Furthermore, in the bar chart measuring the absence of terrorism and violence, Syria is deeply entrenched in the negative area, highlighting the extensive violence and unrest prevalent in the country.

Through this comparative study, we delve into how governance quality is intricately linked to economic health and societal peace. Our findings resonate with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16, which advocates for peaceful, just, and strong institutions. This analysis not only sheds light on the varying situations in these three countries but also emphasizes the critical need for governance systems that nurture economic and social stability, crucial for achieving sustainable development as envisioned in the SDGs by 2030.
