How this figure is calculated

Civil liberties rating divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Civil liberties rating ÷ Land area (sq. km)

Computed from

  • Civil liberties rating Freedom House (2026) – processed by Our World in Data
  • Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
