Where are the newest countries in the world located?
The newest independent countries are in the northern part of Asia (the newest country in the world is South Sudan and 2nd newest is East Timor) .


Is there a connection between the type of government a country has and the freedoms of its citizens?
Most of this area has a Semi-Presidential Republic and became independent in 1990-1999.  Also, they are in a difficult situation with freedom of the press.

What questions do you have about these maps?  (Did you question anything?)
Not really. (Why would they list Russia as a new country .. Soviet Union broke up in 1991 and became its own country.)
