#' Human Freedom Index
#'
#' The Human Freedom Index is a report that attempts to summarize the idea of "freedom"
#' through a bunch of different variables for many countries around the globe.
#' It serves as a rough objective measure for the relationships between the different
#' types of freedom - whether it's political, religious, economical or personal freedom -
#' and other social and economic circumstances. The Human Freedom Index is an annually
#' co-published report by the Cato Institute, the Fraser Institute, and the Liberales
#' Institut at the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom.
#'
#' This dataset contains information from Human Freedom Index reports from 2008-2016.
