Generic Rating Guide
Is it possible to have an overall rating and position (both in region and the world) as to how your nation is doing? Perhaps based upon the 3 major areas (Civil Rights, Economy & Political Freedoms), and/or others to make it more accurate?

Yes, that is what the UN rankings are for. Check your nation page when you log in, and you will find that every day you are ranked in your region and The World for different indicator - happiness, defence expenditure, education, compassion, etc. I do not have a complete list of indicators, but there are probably up to a couple of dozen, and they rotate at random, once daily at the UN update.
A general ranking would be impossible to implement, as it is clearly impossible to assign values to different national characteristics and compare nations that differ a great deal. For example, how would one compare a Scandinavian Liberal Paradise with excellent healthcare and social services to a Capitalizt state, the priorities of which are solely commerce and defence, using just one standardised measure?
