I'm not an expert in this chart type, but perhaps using hue, saturation, or lightness changes over time could help? Or arrows? Or changing circle or line size? (Edit: to be clear, I am not op.)

I think the most unintuitive thing is how you're representing year. Time is always from left to right. Just look at how scrambled the Canada data is.

I think if you want to keep chart type, it'd have to be either animation or way fewer points. Alternatively, you could have plot the ratio of Democracy Score / Equality Score vs time. I guess it's hard to say what would work theoretically; making charts is definitely an art and your effort is commendable.
