While the USOR was doing a pretty good job on freedom for the past few years since the dictatorship, the country was recently lowered on the freedom index. "On press and economy the country is one of the biggest in terms of freedom. With noticeable problems, looking at the monopoly state of Radiator Inc. in the country. But the freedom in press is shown with the two biggest news sources in the country. JBNEWS and ILGA MEDIA who seem te disagree with each other a lot of times." However the status of the USOR at the "Freedom In The World" has been lowered to "Partly Free." "The country is doing a fine job in most ways, but the new banning of abortion and the tread of putting every woman who crosses the border on a lie detector test to see if they want/or are going to have a abortion has been very problematic to us." The company who runs the index is quite saddened by the situation. The person who speaks to the press told us: "If young people go to Belgium to drink a few beers at age 16. Will they be punished in the USOR where the drinking age is 18? I hope they'll make their mind up..."
