Which countries are most free in 2025?

A new map from The World in Maps and Nazar brings political freedom in 2024 into sharp focus. Drawing on data from Freedom House’s freedom score, it paints the globe in shades that range from deep blue to pale yellow, each colour a reflection of how free, or constrained, life is within a nation’s borders. Behind those colours lies a detailed framework: up to 40 points measure electoral processes and political pluralism, while the remaining 60 points capture freedoms that shape daily life, such as speech, association, the rule of law, and personal autonomy. Together, these 25 indicators offer a powerful snapshot of democracy and liberty in today’s world.
