Yup, it's that time again. Time for a "NationStates Census". As always, if you have any specific questions, post them in the thread, and I'll try to get the answer for you, but no promises. All data are as of the 2nd of the month and are rounded according to my whim.

Of these 14,892 are only used by a single nation.
The most popular is "Republic" (20,080 nations) which massively beats out the runner up "Empire" (5,729 nations).

Could you provide a list of what percentage of nations have each different level for each different freedom.
What I am looking for would like like this:
Economic
Frightening ---- A%
All Consuming -- B%
Powerhouse ---- C%
Thriving -------- D%
Very Strong ---- E%
Strong --------- F%
Good ----------- G%
Fair ------------ H%
Reasonable ----- I%
Developing ------ J%
Struggling ------- K%
Weak ----------- L%
Fragile ---------- M%
Basket Case ----- N%
Imploded -------- O%

If you could do this for each freedom, that would be great. I realize that this could be a difficult request, so don't feel too much pressure to answer it very quickly.
BTW Thanks for putting together this awesome census.

This is actually a very difficult statistic for me to provide, so I won't.
