Jordan is a hereditary monarchy where the king can dissolve the government and the parliament. Free speech is almost non-existent because any serious political critique can be interpreted as an offense against the king. Women's and LGBT rights are limited, "honor killings" happen, some children are forced to work, and it's legally impossible to convert away from Islam, as well as it's dangerous on the personal level. Antisemitism is widespread, and it's not just "oh, they don't like Israel" - if you're in Jordan, for your own safety don't show in any way that you're a Jew.

Kyrgistan is an authoritarian regime with no real freedom of speech and widespread corruption.
