English Definition
The state of being free from oppression or constraint. Sweden has the world's strongest freedom of information (world's oldest law, 1766). Press freedom rankings consistently place Sweden in the top 3 globally (Reporters Without Borders). Freedom of religion, speech, and assembly are strongly protected. Sweden's concept of freedom balances individual liberty with collective responsibility — a balance studied globally.
