The Pacitalian Development and Advancement System (PDAS) is an alternative to the CHDI or UNHDI measurements of human and/or societal development. The PDAS ranking system is different in that it is more general in order to group nations by economic class and social development. Its relativity, rather than its reliance on absolute mathematics like its counterparts, forces countries to meet four of the five, or all of the five, criteria in the category level in order to receive the corresponding rating. This is to eliminate the possibility of discrimination by political ideology and to avoid favouring democracies over dictatorships provided the latter's social services or educational institutions are established and their literacy rate is high, even if a dictatorship has low social or economic freedom.
