Source: R/freedomhouse-package.R

Adding to the country_rating_statuses table, the items displayed here can be summed up to obtain the political_rights aggregate score (sum of items A to C) and civil_liberties aggregate score (items D to G). The sub-items are scored from 0 to 4, with 0 representing the lowest degree of achievement in a given category and 4 the highest. For example, a country with 36 or more points in the political rights aggregate score obtains a political rights rating of 1, from 30 to 35 points a rating of 2, and so on.
