World freedom index by country.

October 4, 2022

Below you can find the Made By Liberty freedom index. It aggregates data on economic freedom from The Heritage Foundation and data on civil liberties and political freedom from Freedomhouse, as we have found these to be some of the most reliable and complete for their respective fields We have calculated an average of these ratings to come up with a resulting score for each country.

The purpose of this index is to make it easy for people to get a general idea about how free particular countries are. All scores are in percentages, countries are listed alphabetically and the index was last updated in 2022.

Disclaimer: freedom is a relative term and many people may have different interpretations about what constitutes a free society. This index can only give you a general idea, not a nuanced view. If you would like to learn more, consider visiting the organizations mentioned above.
