Countries with the Lowest Freedom Index

At a quick glance, the countries I notice that are left off the freedom index scale are St. Lucia, Sao Tome, St. Vincent, Grenada, St. Kitts, Dominica, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Palau, Micronesia, Vanuatu, Nauru, Tuvalu, Samoa, Tonga, Maldives, Solomon Islands, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Benin... most of the other tourist driven nations like Barbados, Fiji, and Trinidad rate pretty well. The African countries on the survey near those not listed - like Ghana, Senegal, Guinea, Ghana, Gabon, etc,.. all vary greatly. I'd surmise that labeling the small percentage unlisted as lacking in freedom would not be entirely accurate. Certainly, those countries that are listed are without question lacking in regard to human rights and personal freedoms. The one country not listed with a score that would likely be terrible is North Korea. I think you can go out on a limb and assume the worst there.
