oxfordenglish: Europe is not a Country! Asia is not a country!S. America is not a country and Scandinavia is not a country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why have you put Australia / NZ as one choice???? Would you put America and Canada as one choice???? Australia and NZ are as different as America and Mexico! I suggest you buy a world globe.

OUTRAGEOUS: America = continent
Europe = Continent
Asia = Continent
Australia/NZ = Continent
S.America = sub-continent
Scandinavia = Geographical Region

So. That leaves 2 countries: Russia and Canada. I think Canada is free, and with that freedom there comes responsibility and I think Canadians handle their freedom well... Russia is more licentious - abusive of their freedom.
yay

felixis99: except that England is also a country -


We have a similar situation here in Canada with Quebec'. A "Nation" within a Nation. But most out west do not even regard Quebec as a valid part of Canada....except when elections come around.

The answer depends on what you mean by a "free country".

If you mean the freedom of speech and freedom of travel then the only countries that do not have it are Cuba, N Korea and maybe China to some extent. Maybe some other countries in Africa or Asia that have military dictatorships now, but I am not sure if any of them have it now.

There is absolute freedom of speech in America, Europe, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, S America, Scandinavia.

What about Somalia?

You're free to be shot without recourse to law (because there isn't any outside the capital)
You're free to shoot whoever you like, just drop a gun near them and call it self defence! I mean what aren't you free to do?

I think some of the refugees trying to get to Australia might disagree with you there. Not sure about how NZ treats refugees from, for example Pacific Island groups.

All things considered, freedom and America don't belong in the same sentence. The freedoms we are alloted are an illusion. Our country is not controlled by its people, no matter how democratic our government claims to be.

How freedom can be measured?

I'd say that countries with high corruption and low level of restrictions might be quite "free" compared to industrialized western democracies.
