Liberty Index
The International Liberty Index Foundation is a League of Nations-sanctioned NGO centered on recording and comparing global survey and analytical data to produce comprehensive data for a number of metrics centered around the spread of political freedoms and systems, corruption in governments and societies, social values and norms, and civil rights. Originally founded in 1958 in Cartadania in conjunction with the Organization for Democracy International, the ILIF originally managed a League-sanctioned set of indexes: the the Democracy Index, the Civil Rights Index, and the Perceived Corruption Index. Individually, each is scored to a maximum value of 10, the highest of which sets the year's benchmark. Scores for these indices are also available comparatively between years to show the improvement of benchmark-setters year by year. These are typically shown compiled into a single score in the form of the Liberty Index, a norm-referenced scoring system which provides a relative, simple view of a country's overall social and political freedoms.
Over time, the ILIF has expanded to cover a number of analytical metrics, absorbing several related NGOs such as the Poverty Tracking Organization. As a result, the ILIF published a number of datasets on global GDP and wellbeing metrics which are used by the League of Nations and other international bodies through annual publications.
Each is calculated relative to the global community yearly, with one nation scoring a 10 and setting the benchmark for the year. In addition, the ILIF manages a Global Liberty Index marking fluctuations in the quality of Index Benchmark Nations as well as a Composite Index.

History
Controversies
The Liberty Index and other scoring metrics used by the ILIF have often been criticized as unduly favoring Occidental and Coscivian cultures over Alshari, Cronan, and Audonian nations, as well as opposing arguments from liberal nations decrying the institution of supposedly artificially inflating the scores of constitutional monarchies. In some cases, these arguments go so far as to suggest that the ILIF is little but a propaganda front for League donor nations.
In 2002, Varshan attempted unsuccessfully to sue the ILIF into in League courts on a number of accusations amounting to vexatious litigation. Several of these cases remained in limbo until Varshan's expulsion from the League of Nations.
