condition of political rights and civil liberties around the world. It is used on a regular basis by policymakers, journalists, academics, activists, and many others.</p><h3><a class="ck-anchor" id="Data"></a>The Data</h3><p>The <em>Freedom in the World </em>report is composed of numerical ratings and supporting descriptive texts for 195 countries and 13 territories. External analysts assess 208 countries and territories, using a combination of on-the-ground research, consultations with local contacts, and information from news articles, nongovernmental organizations, governments, and a variety of other sources. Expert advisers and regional specialists then vet the analysts’ conclusions.
