Provincial Reconstruction Teams Rankings
Note: The Provincial Reconstruction Teams work within Iraq’s provinces to improve governance and reconstruction. They have five rankings for Iraq’s provinces in terms of governance, political development, economic development, rule of law, and reconciliation. Babil, Baghdad, Dhi Qar, Diwaniya/Qadisiyah, Diyala, Karbala, Maysan, Muthanna, Najaf, and Wasit all improved. Anbar, Kurdistan, Ninewa, and Tamim had no changes. Salahaddin was the only province that received a declining ranking, while Basra had a mixed report.
PRT Rankings: 5 rankings:
1. Beginning: Little progress on decision-making, provision of services,
political participation, fighting corruption, basic freedoms, infrastructure, unemployment
2. Developing: Small improvements in economic development, government,
security. Still lack budget spending, basic freedoms, political participation, jobs, banks, fighting corruption
3. Sustaining: Getting better at working with national government, building
political parties, political participation, police. Still lacks coordination, appropriations, banks, still has tribal influences
4. Performing: Social and financial institutions and infrastructure working,
coordination, political participation, and transparency exists, banks opening, appropriations improving, transportation available, police and legal system building, security forces in the lead, tribes deferring to government
5. Self-reliance: Independent government with basic freedoms, security, political
and economic institutions working, religious tolerance, working legal system, security forces self-sufficient

Total Number of Attacks:
Note: Overall attacks recorded in the October report were down 64.4% from April 1 to September 30, 2008. Baghdad is still the most violent province, but saw a huge drop in attacks between the two reporting periods. That was due to the cessation of operations in Sadr City. Tamim, Anbar, Diyala, and Ninewa are the other provinces still seeing large amounts of violence, and the attack numbers there barely changed. Salahaddin however did see a large drop. In southern provinces such as Babil and Dhi Qar, most of the attacks are due to Iranian-backed Special Groups and members of the Mahdi Army not heading Sadr’s cease-fire.

It's interesting that Diyala and Ninevah both remain pretty dysfunctional. Which is why I suspect that Obama is still going to keep troops in those two provinces long after I MEF is only a memory in Al Anbar province.
Also, I'm suspicious of the figures on religious breakdown of certain provinces, especially those with allegedly 100% of a single sect.
Those 100% Shiite provinces are in the south so I never questioned them. The only area where I've read about religious diversity there was in Basra where I think there were Christians, but most reports said they got run off by the militias. No idea how many of them were there in the first place or how many fled.
Dysfunctional is all in the eye of the beholder. Few of the provinces actually "work" without even counting the violence.
The reason I'm suspicious about the %100 numbers is that ISTR reading about Sunnis living in Basra. Now granted, the article was discussing attacks against them by the JAM, but I can't imagine that every last Sunni was run out of town.
As for what exactly counts as dysfunctional, I'd say that for any of Iraq, all that we can hope for at this point is "third wold corrupt." For better or worse, Ba'ath totalitarianism and the goatf**k of a lot of the earlier years of the occupation have left it so that that's about all that's achievable.
Andrew, I found some more info about minorities Basra. A report in Niqash said about 20% of the province was Sunni. The U.N. also wanted one seat on the provincial council there to go to Christians, and that was passed by the parliament in the election law.
