Okay, go to "The World" page. Most politically free nations you're thinking. So what? Ok, click on each of the top ten nations. Look at their populations.

They're the smallest top ten populations I've ever seen. :o

Number one for defence was 7 mill one time. Remember, the more issues you pass, the more diluted your nation tends to become.

Good point. But look at the regions, too!

One has like 5.015 Billion! And although 222 million IS a small population, POlitical Freedom doesn't require a very big population.

As the population grows, you get more issues to answer, so the small populations probably means that government laws (issues) always tend to decrease political rights. Rampant anarchy, where there are no government and no issues being answered, gives the most political rights to the individual, allowing the people to do whatever they want. The more issues you answer, the bigger the government gets, and the less free the individual. Or something along those lines...
