sooooooooooooooooo...Where are the answers.

I think its a, right?

Oh, Southeast Asia, the land of tropical beaches and political makeovers! The correct answer is a-Indonesia. It's like turning a dictatorship into a democracy is as easy as turning a fried banana into banana split! Indonesians decided they were tired of living in the land of "no fun allowed" and switched things up. Kudos to them for trading the iron fist for the waving hand of freedom!

To determine which Southeast Asian country has a government that is now democratic but was once authoritarian, we need to compare the political histories of the given options: Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei, and Laos.

a) Indonesia: Indonesia transitioned from an authoritarian regime under President Suharto to a democratic system in 1998. The country held elections and implemented political reforms, establishing itself as a democratic nation.

b) Vietnam: Vietnam, on the other hand, is still considered an authoritarian country. The government is controlled by the Communist Party, and there have been limited political reforms but no transition to a fully democratic system.

c) Brunei: Brunei has an absolute monarchy, which means its government is not democratic and has never been authoritarian to become democratic.

d) Laos: Laos is also an authoritarian country. The Communist Party controls the government, and there has been no significant transition toward democracy.

Therefore, the correct answer is a) Indonesia. It has transitioned from an authoritarian regime to a democratic government.

Right.
