So some say US is the most free, but from what I've experienced personally, a lot of how you do in life depends on WHO you know (not what you know)... Secondly, what you are (as a person--inside) means nothing to the outside world--people only care about where you were from, went to school, what you do, how you dress, how much you make... It is really annoying when strangers greet each other with meaningless questions like "So what you do for a living?" instead of something like "What classical composer speaks to you the most?" (yea since most think classical stuff is only something for the rich)... Then again, what is rich? Can't a person have a soul--and can't that soul appreciate/connect to something other than what's here and now (but something intrinsically beyond time/space)?
I'm always interested in what people do for a living - it's not meaningless to me, just the opposite in fact.
Love finding out where people are from as well - right down to the suburb or rural locale.

There is a deep spiritual side. (Not related to religion). Not just the superficial or competition. Some people would be very
surprised who are some of the most happiest free ones, and how they express that. What about International countries traveling, living in other independent sovereign republics, Nightlife, Coffeehouses, Cafe Bars, Restaurants, Computer Machine Internet actions, Finding Out What Is Best In Using Any Currency Funds, And No Corruption In Any Way. Peace Of Mind. And The Final Word Of Relaxation.
Well balancing lifestyle is a solid key solution when older.
There are tons of options or just enough in Europe, Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and The Americas.
When I go birdwatching, I ask acquaintances what they have to do to support their real life. One was the managing editor of an astronomy magazine. One was a meteorologist with a climatic effect named after him. . One packed and shipped priceless works of art. One was a Sinatra impersonator at a casino. .One was a Catholic priest. I already knew their hobby.
Most freedom: Somalia. You are free to do anything you want to do.
Happiness is a bit difficult to obtain without a reasonable amount of safety. I suspect that Somalia is not a very happy place, but, by golly, you can have as much freedom as you want.
The most 'free' country in the world going by the standards of the politics forum is probably Somalia.
Somaliland, the breakaway region in northern Somalia, probably actually is. Somalia has no control, and the practicing government in Hargeisa is relaxed. It's a city of a mllion with an economy and infrastructure that works, only a couple of flights a day at the airport, and the road out is 4x4 only. People are friendly and honest.

The constitution does afford Americans more freedoms in some cases.
Although this comes with positives as well as negatives.
Obviously there is a debate regadring the Second Amendment, although it is amusing to see youtubers in the US pointing there cameras at places and people, only for the police to be called, and then the police to have to tell the complainant that the individual is protected by the First Amendment.
It's also interesting to see American shout and swear at the police in public.
The police in other countries are far more likely to arrest you for public order, harrasment or causing alarm or distress and other similar offences in such circumstances.
