AAQ – this index is computed by international organizations for the whole world.

It is composed by Leftist Progs who rate countries by how Progressive they are, so places like Scandinavia score at the top, and the US somewhat lower, even though a case could be made that Prog Paradises tend to restrict personal liberties and expression when it conflicts with their agenda. Otherwise, no one needs a list to tell them North Korea and Iran aren’t democracies… If Israel went up the list it is NOT a good sign. The people from within Israel lobbying to raise Israel’s rank are probably the same types as the “Kaplan” crowd.
