Is the legislature Independent? Yes
Was the leader democratically voted in? Yes
Was every member of legislature elected democratically? Yes
Does the nation have fair, free and open elections? Yes
Is the government Constitutionally Limited? Yes

Civil Freedoms:

Are people allowed to say whatever they want? Generally speaking - some limits (no yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater, no explicit threats, etc.)
Are people allowed to own as many weapons as they want to? Quantitatively, yes - certain weapons are proscribed, however
Are people allowed to practice whatever religion they wish to practice Yes
Are people allowed to associate with whomever they want to Yes
Do citizens have a right to privacy? Yes - a court ordered warrant overrides this, however (but this is subject to review)
Do police need warrants with a probable cause? Yes
Is murder, theft and other criminal activities legal? No
Are soft drugs legal? Yes (marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, hashish)
Are hard drugs legal? No (cocaine, heroin, PCP, etc.)

Economic Freedoms:

What is the Corporate Tax Rate? 0-22.5%
What is the sales tax rate? 10%
What is the tariff rate? Varies based on product and preferential status, but relatively low
How regulated is the economy from a 1-10 scale, 1 being no government regulations, 10 being a Communist Economy 3

Is welfare and healthcare privatized? No - private hospitals and insurance does exist, though (in a dual state-private system)
Is education privatized? No - private education does exist, though.
Is the law privatized? No - private dispute resolution organizations do exist (corporate law, for example), but have no legal authority outside of internal contracts and are still subject to the law of the state.
Is the government privatized? No
Is there a national currency, if so, is it backed by something hard? Miena - fiat currency
If yes to the above question, are currencies other than the national currency legal? (this includes Cryptocurrencies like Bytecoin) Yes, but they are not considered legal tender and taxes must be paid in Mienas.

Anything Else you want to add? Laudine is generally regarded as an ordoliberal nation with extensive state involvement in what is otherwise a relatively free marketplace. Though the state does engage in the marketplace, it does so fairly conservatively as a "guiding force" for development. State services (postal, transportation, etc.) are experimentally privatized in many cases - a patchwork of libertarian and state forces.

Do citizens have a right to privacy? Yes, though we are so sociable that it is rarely requested or practiced.
Do police need warrants with a probable cause? There are no police; all citizens are expected to police each other.
Is murder, theft and other criminal activities legal? Things that are harmful to others are seen as infringing on their personal sovereignty, and so those accused of such can be brought forward by those who believe themselves so wronged for their case to be judged.

So in that sense it is private in that their is no Government funding, though it is encouraged by all levels of Government.
Is the law privatized? No, though the principle of individual sovereignty is the basis of our entire system of governance, so in a way you could say that it is.
Is the government privatized? No.
Is there a national currency, if so, is it backed by something hard? We do not use currency, but rather a combined system of Barter, Gifting, and Social Trust and Honor.
