    Fucked. Mexico and India both only partly free? Is that because of their current leaders? Did they vote themselves out of being free?

    Also I know you can't answer but what school do you go to lmfao

      Mexico and India are both big potentially rival countries that can escape the US umbrella, so they can never be free.

      Only tiny ultra-balkanized controllable countries can attain the honorific of being "free".

        That's about what I imagined could be the case. But then there's fucking Brazil as free lol. I suppose they've been pretty firmly under the US' thumb for awhile, though I'm sure they'll update the map if Lula gets back in power

          Brazil is free because the USA installed a fascist dictatorship there wich for decades mass slaugthered anyone who was even remotely left wing. Thats what real democratic liberalism is.
