How to read Germany's freedom profile
With an overall score of 80.1/100, Germany is among the freest places in the world. It ranks #12 of the 197 countries we track and sits within the Europe region, where it can be compared directly against its neighbours.
Its strongest freedom is Freedom of Movement (10.0/10), while Privacy (5.0/10) is where it scores lowest. That 5.0-point spread means Germany's record is very uneven — freedom here depends heavily on which right you look at.
