Well when we look at rational economic policies take a look at top ~10 in terms of GDP, purchase parity adjusted, per capita:

   monaco, liechtenstein, singapore, luxembourg, ireland, macau, qatar, bermuda, norway, switzerland
Monarchy: monaco, liechtenstein, qatar

One party state w/ elections: singapore, macau

direct democracy: switzerland

represented democracy: Norway, Bermuda, Ireland, Luxembourg

Multi-party representative democracy is less than half. And none of the top 3. An interesting, but uncomfortable, fact. The people are not good at picking economically rational leaders in adversarial elections.
