Overview

Out of 72 countries, Italy sits at #50 — #50 Most Cooked. Three departments are doing the heavy lifting here: political institutions (political polarization beats 49% of the field, just not in a good way), economic policy (income inequality, 53rd percentile), and healthcare financing bringing up the rear. Different agencies, same energy.

Overall score: 21/100 — 6 points below the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: homicide rate (Homicide 0.5/100k) — better than 88% of countries tracked. The story here isn't the country — it's the political institutions stack behind these numbers.
