Two comments:
- The top three freest countries are constitutional monarchies. Out of the top 20 freest countries, 11 are monarchies. Out of the bottom 20, only one, Eswatini (Swaziland as was) is a monarchy, and definitely not a constitutional one. Yay for constitutional monarchy!
- The US is still freer than China, but is at the bottom end of developed countries, and fell sharply during 2025. American exceptionalism indeed.
