The Botswana quip was funny, but inaccurate. Botswana didn't become a democracy until 1964.

Australia had franchise for men and women long before America.

I have to wonder if the line was meant to illustrate that they're all ignorant about everything, none of them should have a finger in political pies.

Well, if you want to count American democracy as starting with the Voting Rights Act, that would be 1965, a year after Botswana.
