13 Panama 1.5
14 Poland 1
15 Slovakia 1
16 Macedonia 3
17 Ukraine 2.5
18 US 1

1 – Israel 1.5
2 – the US 1
3 – Germany 1
4 – Holland 1
5 – Canada 1
6 – Australia 1
7 – Hungary 1
8 – the Czech Republic 1
9 – The Netherlands 1
10 – Panama 1.5
11 – Poland 1
12 – Slovakia 1
13 – The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 3
14 – Ukraine 2.5
15 – Italy 1.5

1.33

I couldn’t find online the other 3 countries that were in favor but it doesn’t look like the score is 2.77. That number seems way off. Can you list out the details of your calculations?

I’d also looking for the “Arab bloc” states to do their average freedom index, since they are the ones pushing this.

If you could do that, that’d be great… I’d love to see the data myself because my numbers aren’t adding up with yours.

Thanks

John
