    free != no laws enforced. you have a pretty narrow definition of free. I'd certainly choose the free where I don't "fall out of a window" for the wrong opinion, media is free and elections are free and democratic.

Step 1: Make a law against criticizing the state or leaders or laws... Step 2: Make people fall out of windows for breaking that law.
