Would it be better to compare current, non-totalitarian governments, such as EU, Australia, or the like? It kind of sounds disingenuous to use extreme examples. (No dig to you or your opinion, just don't see how using those examples helps.)

You could spend a lot of effort to distinguish countries with a similar degree of freedom, but I chose to list a few obvious examples of countries that do not have that freedom. Or did not, as the case may be.
