🇧🇲Bermuda Political Stability: 49.7/100

Bermuda has a population of approximately 71,176 as of July 2018, with a density of about 1,201 people per square kilometer. The majority of the population is of Black descent (52%), followed by White (31%) and multiracial (9%). English is the primary language spoken, with Portuguese also present due to historical immigration from the Azores and Madeira.

World Bank governance: rule of law 51st percentile, corruption control 66th percentile, political stability 62nd percentile.

Bermuda's strongest governance dimension is Control of Corruption at 66/100, placing it in the upper half globally. This indicates relatively effective mechanisms for limiting misuse of public office for private gain.

The weakest dimension is Voice & Accountability at 0/100. Limited voice and accountability suggests constraints on citizen participation, expression, or media freedom.

A wide 66-point gap between the highest and lowest indicators signals deeply uneven governance. Strong performance in Control of Corruption contrasts sharply with weakness in Voice & Accountability. This kind of imbalance often means that day-to-day experiences can vary dramatically depending on which government functions are involved.

Bermuda's moderate governance scores suggest travelers should prepare for some institutional inconsistency. Public services may be unreliable in certain areas, and regulatory enforcement can be uneven. Travel insurance and advance planning are recommended.

The U.S. State Department currently rates Bermuda as Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions). This aligns with a governance profile that, while not without challenges, provides a baseline of institutional functioning.
