I am more free than you Yanks. I kinda already knew this, but it's nice to have a US libertarian outfit like the Cata Institute back it up. Both the country I was born in and lived for for 40 years (New Zealand - ranked 1) and the country I now live in (Australia - ranked 2) are higher up the freedom food chain than the US - ranked 23. Not bad for a subject....

In our countries freedom is largely dictated by how much money you have IMO.

Hong Kong was number one, sort of shows the study is bogus.
