Glorious freedom rating survey.

We ask that you answer truthfully and fill out all fields of the survey. Nations will be ranked once they have completed and posted their survey.

If you have any questions or comments about the survey, or how to make it better, give me a TG.

Reasons for ranking in parenthesis will be added later
