The data of 117 countries analyzed were obtained from the official web page of Heritage Foundation. EViews 7.1 was used for the statistical analysis and test. As a result, it has been determined that the organizational structures and the level of economic developments affect the national economic freedom, and Muslim counties have the lowest level of economic freedom
