  2. I wish you'd have explained how the ordering was arrived at; are all the rated categories worth the same, or is Health, for example, worth more than Climate?

    Also, hate to be a stickler, but for
    Italy you have a picture of the Vatican, and that's officially a separate country... and a country with a somewhat lower Freedom score, it being an Absolute Monarchy (Paparachy?) and all.
