The reason the US scores a 0.6 in 1789 comes down to how composite data is aggregated and the global baseline of the 18th century.
Yes, people have put thought into this. This is why I trust institutions and not random posters on the internet.
If an institution told you to jump off a bridge...
Is WHO a reputable institution? And was it reputable between 2019-2022?
Yes
The reason that US and its allies/friendlies always score high on these kinds of ratings while their enemies/adversaries always score low is because these institutions and 'experts' are directly funded by and beholden to these countries/interests.
Just look at Russia - it's score is highest in the 90s - the most corrupt and destitute time in its modern history, also happens to be when it was deemed somewhat friendly to US and friends.
