You will be rated from 1 to 10 (the lower the number, the more free the nation is).

1-3: Free country. These countries are usually democratic and citizens are guaranteed the right to freedom of speech, religion, and press. These countries do not trample on human rights.

Examples: A 1 might be Norway, 2 might be Monaco, and 3 might be Mexico.

3.5-7: Partly free country. These countries are usually hybrid regimes where certain political parties or ideologies are banned. Freedom of speech, religion, and press are a bit shaky. These countries may have minor human rights violations.

Examples: A 4 might be Turkey, 5 might be Thailand, 6 might be Russia, and 7 might be Egypt

7.5-10: Unfree country. These countries are usually dictatorships where one person or a small group of people exercise nearly complete control over politics. Freedom of speech, religion, and press are non-existent. These countries may have moderate to severe human rights violations.

Examples: An 8 might be Belarus, a 9 might be Laos, an a 10 might be North Korea.

CIVIL RIGHTS

Is torture allowed in your nation? It is outdated.
If so, when is it used? N/A.
Do all accused have the right to a fair trial? The truth is the truth- of course we do.
Are people allowed to choose to follow a certain religion? Hell is not an option.
Are people allowed to choose to follow no religion? Hell is not an option.
Are gays, lesbians, and transgender people given rights? No, alongside any other type of sodomite.
If so, what is the extent of these rights (eg. marriage, civil unions)? The right to a swift and brutal punishment/rehabilitation.
Is the media allowed to express whatever opinions they wish? So long as they do not infringe upon the "Indisputable Laws," then yes.
Are citizens allowed the right to protest or petition the government? So long as their requests do not infringe upon the "Indisputable Laws," yes.
Are citizens searched without a warrant or probable cause? It is the unpredictability that helps us catch the most elusive and unlikely of criminals. Thus, it is legal to search without anything.
Does your nation's military/police attack innocent citizens? Of course not- if the citizens are innocent, then there is no reason to attack them.
Is police brutality tolerated? It is encouraged, as it intimidates would-be criminals into not breaking any laws.
How common is police brutality? Extremely. Once you are caught, you will most likely be beaten to within the last inch of your life before they put you on "the Table."
Are citizens spied on without any sort of warrant or suspicion of a crime? Every last nanomachine in the Empire can act as surveillance, so you could say that spying is nearly impossible NOT to do.
Is the death penalty used in your nation? It is outdated.
If so, what crimes are punishable by death? N/A.
If so, how often is it used? N/A.
Is any sort of genocide or ethnic cleansing used in your nation? Only if it infringes upon our laws would we dare eradicate a group. While no criminal groups are present in Cruciland anymore, such cleansing of other cultures and beliefs is common overseas.
Is discrimination government sanctioned? It depends on the type of discrimination. Most forms of ideological discrimination are encouraged- even subsidized- if they do not agree with our ideology. Any other form is strictly outlawed.
Is slavery state-sponsored? No, slavery is outdated.

POLITICAL RIGHTS

Are free and fair elections held on a regular basis? There are no elections- democracy fails to meet the needs of a society as powerful and fast-paced as ours.
If a legislature is elected, does it hold significant power? N/A.
Who is granted suffrage, if anyone? N/A.
Is any ideology banned? Yes, most banned ideologies fall into one of three groups- Leftism, (Communism/socialism/liberalism/etc) Anarchism, (Anti-government/libertarianism/etc) and Physical Discrimination. (Racism/sexism/Nazism/etc)
Is your nation a one-party state? No, political parties are outlawed because they divide the people.
Are citizens allowed to form political parties? N/A.
Can any political party participate in elections? N/A.
Is the military the government (military junta)? The highest-ranked military officers play an active part in the government.
Is your nation stable (no constant change in type of government of coup d' etats)? Extremely stable. Our factbook should explain why.
Is there a significant opposition vote? Vote? We have no elections.
Are all votes treated equally (everyone's vote counts as one vote)? N/A.
Is the government transparent and fair? Very, surprisingly.
Is corruption widespread? A Point (our currency) made is a Point made, unless if that Point causes something really bad to happen. (like bailing a high-bounty terrorist out of punishment)

OTHER RIGHTS

Are citizens permitted to form unions? Unions are outlawed.
Are citizens granted the right to access education? They are born with 100 Master's degrees, in fact.
Are citizens granted the right to access basic healthcare? If you can afford it. (and you can)
Are citizens granted the right to access basic shelter or housing? If you can afford it. (and you can)
Can citizens own a business? It is encouraged, in fact.
Is your nation a theocracy? A pseudo-Theocracy, actually. The Church's duty is to Yahweh, not Cruciland. However, they serve as our Judicial branch and the entire Holy Bible makes up a large section of our constitution and laws.
Are women treated equally under the law? Physical discrimination of any kind, be it chauvinism or feminism, is outlawed. Females have the same rights as males.

POLITICAL RIGHTS

Are free and fair elections held on a regular basis? No, though this is a due to the fact that the people of Threlizdun vote on laws directly, not from suppression of democracy. Representatives are occassionally appointed and are used primarly at an international scene, though the need to use representatives rather than simply using e-democratic methods is extremely rare.
If a legislature is elected, does it hold significant power? On the occassions when representatives are used, they act as a unit to better organize the demands of those residing within their community.

Private ownership over the means of production is considered theft, thus many traditional business models would be illegal here.
Is your nation a theocracy? No
Are women treated equally under the law? Yes, as are all other genders.
