First, none of us are lawyers to suggest what is legal or not legal in any country. Second, none of us are lawyers in any specific country to be able to know what is legal or not legal in that specific country. There are around 194 countries in the world currently[1], so that introduces a lot of complexity to manage.

What I like about your idea is the general concept of showing people that their country may limit their freedoms or support bad policies. I'm imagining a world map picture with broad sweeping colors to generalize -- more free, less free, etc. But I fear it is not feasible, safe, or legal to make such declarations without the lawyers to back it up. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
