Poor, Indebted, Yet Free

Nations That Should Be Most Open To Unitism

The Unidex of Poor, Indebted, Yet Free Nations

These Are the Nations That Should be Most Open to Unitism

Are you an Upraiser, Uniraiser, or just a general Uniter who’d like to know in what countries non-nationals (foreigners) can donate to political parties and/or candidates, and thus make a direct and positive impact for a better world through Unitism? You’re in the right place! Indicated below are countries that allow foreign contributions (political donations to that country’s politicians from non-citizens), along with rankings in terms human development, national debt, freedom of expression and political organization (check out these UN, IMF and Freedom House links for most of the data we’re using to compile these lists):

  1. United Nations Human Development Index (HDI)

  2. The International Monetary Fund’s Central Government Debt List

  3. Freedom House’s Freedom in the World Report

To the point: while currently we’re cobbling together a list of all countries where we can directly foster and fund the founding and development of local, home-grown Unity Parties, at some point we’ll more laser-focus our efforts on such countries that are poor, heavily indebted (at least at the national government level), yet free (i.e., most in need of and most open to [at least in theory] our Unitist message).

Let us know if your own country would be a great candidate for our message, and check back frequently!
