Abstract
In development theory one searches for a method to order the nations of the world into more or less developed. Higher degree of development is a macro property. In the dominant approach by M. Nussbaum (2011) development refers to micro capabilities. This is for the individual to promote in a country with rule of law.

Some countries like Russia, China and Myanmar have never experienced rule of law
Regime Development In the earliest annals of the political history of mankind, we find evidence of autocrats, occupied with warfare, looting and exploitation
Is that rule of law? Could a country score high on these properties but not so high on dimension 2? 4.1 Law and Order The following countries score high on this measure: Singapore, UAE and Hungary. These countries have hardly rule of law states. 4.2 Judicial Enforcement Here again we find Singapore and the UAE besides South Korea, Czech Republic
Summary
Some countries like Russia, China and Myanmar have never experienced rule of law. Russia and China hover between autocracy and rule by law. Myanmar, this unlucky country, cannot get rid of the arbitrary state. There are still autocrats today for instance in military rule like Myanmar and Egypt, personal autocracy like Kazakhstan or Angola and Gambia ss well as Central America. Rule by law is more frequent though, as in China after Mao and Russia after Stalin. 3. World Justice Project (WJP) The World Justice group is an NGO with universal membership.
