Liberty Crisis | Lavoie Administration
-
The Civil Liberties Index is a report carried out every 2 months for Brickston and every year for countries in the European Union. The score ranges from 5 to 120, and it includes Political and Civil Freedoms. In cooperation with the Department of Civil Liberties, the Department of Regional Affairs formed the basis of the Index from 1998 to 1999, and the first report was published in 2001.
Briekish Elected Representative Administrations have an average score of 71, in political freedoms and 67 in civil liberties. A score above 85 in any of the 2 factors indicates that a country is in the "Benchmark" tier, meaning that the country has a high score. An average score (combining the political and civil components) of more than 110 is titled "Excenarchy", meaning that the country is excessive in human rights.
On the other end of the spectrum, a score below 57 in any component means that the country is "under satisfactory" in providing its citizens civil rights, and a score below 30 is when it is termed a "regime". A score below 15 is a "tyranny".
Under Article 86 in the Briekish Constitution, a score below 57 would mean that elections would have to be held again. A report came out yesterday (13/08/21) where the civil liberties component having a score of 63 with the political component scoring 52, elections have to be held again. This is a shocking turn due to President Lavoie having won the elections just a month ago. This phenomenon is termed a "Liberty Crisis". The only other event where a liberty crisis occurred was during the Maduro Administration, but due to the article in the constitution not existing, elections had never been redone.

Update: Due to the Liberty Crisis, the report was updated every 24 hours. The score in the political component is now at 71 points, meaning that elections will not be reheld. Instead, President Lavoie will have to go through a 38 hour long ceremony and oath to vouch for democratic values of the nation.
