The groupings are horrible. Belarus amd Russia are grouped in with EU countries such as Czeck Republic, while Turkey is in WE. This is just gerrymandering for lack of a better word. As a minimum, EU and Asia Pac should have own regions as these are more homogenous.

Weighting, it's a country average not population adjusted. China weighs as much as Singapore. So 1.4 billion oppressed Chinese count as much as a tiny island-state, this is not reflecting the region as a whole. Similarly in Latam and Europe, the smaller countries pull up the average, Luxembourg evens out the democratic disaster that is Russia.

so you’d suggest doing it per capita? that could be a good idea
