Max authoritarianism stat?

[Huosheng]

Was looking at the rankings for the authoritarianism stat, and saw that all the top nations were ranked at 14,551.92, and that further more, they had been so since a little after January 2018. Before then, they were all at 14,550. I'm just wondering why it seems like such a common pattern, and they're all capped at 14,551.92, like that's the set maximum. Thanks for any help

That would be the highest possible authoritarianism that can be achieved, as a nation cannot get more authoritarian than 0 civil rights, 0 political freedoms, and 0/-100 economic freedom.

Of interesting note is that it's often times seem to be just Civil Rights and Political Freedom that needs to be pushed down, while Economic Freedom can go away a bit unscathed.

Case in point:

Sum of 3 Rights = Civil Rights + Political Freedom + Economic Freedom (narrowed down from (-100 to +100) to (0 to 100)).

Civil + Political Rights against Auth. and Economic Freedom:

Notice how there are green dots (indicating those in the middle of the EF spectrum) scattered around.

As for how Economic Freedom works, that I am not sure. ^^; The max scores for Auth definitely relies on CR and PF, but I am not sure how big a part EF plays.

If that's true, sounds like a target for another beta? It looks more to me that they don't answer issues (having checked a few of the top nations counts) and just picked the same starting questions that resulted in them being ranked on top. Personally, if that's the case, that feels a little extreme that a nation founded can be first equal and nations that play with issues aren't on top.

I 100% agree. Getting ranked high in authorianism is my main goal on this specific nation, but it seems like it's impossible to do so now due to everything being in a deadlock, as well as the fact other people did so without much work.
Thanks for everyones' help, though
