Start here for cross-sectional analysis. Note that the inform_ columns and the severity_ columns are two different indices, not two dimensions of one: see their definitions before combining them. Note too that the four V-Dem rights columns (freedom_of_expression, human_rights, freedom_of_association, vdem_rule_of_law) all run 0 to 1 with HIGHER MEANING MORE FREEDOM, the opposite direction from every inform_ and severity_ column, and that vdem_rule_of_law is a different measure on a different scale from the World Bank rule_of_law column. THE TWO CORRUPTION COLUMNS RUN IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS: vdem_political_corruption is 0 to 1 with HIGHER MEANING MORE CORRUPT, ti_cpi is 0 to 100 with HIGHER MEANING LESS CORRUPT. They correlate strongly and negatively, so a sign error survives a smell test; they must never be averaged, never share an axis, and never be collapsed into one corruption score. military_expenditure_share has NO normative direction at all and does not belong on a good/bad ramp.
