Much better representation than the original one. However, things I would change:
Redundant key, redundant title. You can keep the red highlights and describe what they mean in the key, but you've already labelled the X axis with what your greyscale represents. Y axis has no Quantity (unit). I have no idea if this is upvotes per capita, freedom index, or chickens per chicken. Might want to also point out which countries are represented as well. From having worked with this data before, I know for a fact that not all sovereign countries were studied (and also, some of the ones with "demcoratic" in the name are missing from this ranking).
It could use improvement, but at least it doesn't attempt to hide the underlying data like the last one. Bonus plots from last round:
Based on the sources OP gave, here are the relevant countries:
Country Name (Formal Name) Democracy Index Algeria (People's Democratic Republic of Algeria) 3.56 Democratic Republic of the Congo 1.93 North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) 1.08 East Timor (Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste) 7.24 Ethiopia (Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia) 3.60 Laos (Lao People's Democratic Republic) 2.37 Nepal (Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal) 4.86 São Tomé and Príncipe (Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe) No Rating Sri Lanka (Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka) 6.48

same data but represented with box/jitter (looks like two outliers skew it) same data but with the word Republic in the nameSailedBasilisk on February 2nd, 2018 at 17:11 UTC »

So is this the same marketing logic as kitchen hardware or specialty equipment? (i.e. if you have to tell them it's a professional model, it's not)
