Is there some way you can see your freedom rankings? You know that one that determine your UN rating?

No I meant a way to see what your nation is at.

I don't understand. The chart linked to above shows what UN Category is indicated by the various personal, political, and economic freedoms (which are either authoritarian, centrist, or libertarian).

The Holy Confederacy of The Aeson

Civil Rights: Few
Economy: Frightening
Political Freedoms: Outlawed

It's posted right below your nation name. I'm assuming nobody pointed this out to you because you'd have to be blind to miss it.

You can also look at your nation's XML feed:

If what you're looking for isn't there, then you simply aren't allowed to see it. Your nation page and your nation's XML feed are 100% of the official NationStates information available to players.

From the FAQ...

Is my nation left-wing or right-wing?
The left/right scale isn't used in NationStates. Because it's one-dimensional, it's not a very accurate way of measuring your politics. NationStates has three main scales: personal, economic, and political. In each case, you can be authoritarian (moral, or restrictive) or libertarian (liberal, or laissez-faire). For example, someone with left-wing politics might want high levels of personal freedom (e.g. no drug laws, gay rights), low levels of economic freedom (e.g. taxes, welfare), and average levels of political freedom (e.g. compulsory voting at elections). A libertarian might prefer high levels of freedom on all scales. An authoritarian might want the opposite.

These three scales determine your nation's UN Category (see below).

Are those three scales the same as Civil Rights, Economy, and Political Freedoms?
Not exactly. "Economy" in particular can be strongly affected by other factors. But they're pretty close.
