The image shows the global distribution of freedom levels across various countries in 2023. It categorizes 195 countries and 15 territories into three groups based on their political rights and civil liberties: “Free,” “Partly Free,” and “Not Free.” 

Countries labeled as “Free” are primarily located in North America, Europe, and parts of Oceania and Latin America, where citizens enjoy higher levels of political freedom and civil rights. In contrast, regions in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East display a more varied range, with numerous nations categorized as “Partly Free” or “Not Free.” 

“Not Free” nations dominate much of Asia, including China and Russia, along with several Middle Eastern and African countries, indicating restricted political rights and liberties. Meanwhile, “Partly Free” countries, indicated by yellow, are dispersed in various parts of the globe, including South Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa.

Overall, the map shows the unequal distribution of freedom, with clear regional patterns of where freedom is more established and where it is suppressed.
