Supplementary notes
Freedom in the World 2025 evaluates the state of freedom in 195 countries and 15 territories during the calendar year 2024. Each country and territory is assigned between zero and four points on a series of 25 indicators, for an aggregate score of up to 100. The indicators are grouped into the categories of political rights (0–40) and civil liberties (0–60), whose totals are weighted equally to determine whether the country or territory has an overall status of Free, Partly Free, or Not Free.
