Since then, Assyria has become a representative democracy with proportional representation and universal suffrage. The modern Assyrian government, still dominated by the Assyrian Socialist Party, having moved from an overtly Marxist position to a social democratic centre-left one, highly respects human rights of all its citizens. The country has the highest standard of living in the Middle East (something hotly contested by Israel and Lebanon) and one of the lowest poverty rates in the world. Relations with neighboring states remains strained but local peace initiatives are underway to normalize and improve relations with several of Assyria's neighbors, especially Kurdistan.
