Ariddian Ministry of Health Social Rights Rankings
From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
The Ariddian Ministry of Health maintains a list of foreign nations ranked by their level of social rights according to Ariddian governmental criteria. The Ministry does not release the precise criteria upon which it bases its rankings, but states that it takes "a wide variety of significant factors into account".
Nations are ranked from "very high" to "very low".
Somewhat surprisingly, ESAT is included, no doubt in an attempt by the Ariddian authorities to classify it as a foreign, sovereign nation. Many believe that the ranking conferred upon ESAT is, in fact, the ranking Ariddian confers upon itself.

Notes:
- It came as a surprise to some that North-West Ariddia was ranked only as "high", and not "very high". The Ariddian authorities have declined to comment on this matter.
- Uhuh-Ropa, despite describing itself as a "plutocracy", is ranked "high". On this topic, Audrey Lake, Secretary for Health, said, "Their policies don't conform with what they say they are. The Uhuh-Ropean government seems committed to ensuring the well-being of its citizens. We commend them for it, and urge them to continue along this path."
- Secretary of State Alex Tehrani of Omigodtheykilledkenny once protested against these rankings, calling them "biased and uninformed".
