World trend

Median Sworn Score, all scored countries

55.5

-2.4 since 1965

Line shows the median Sworn Score across 192 scored countries each year. Shaded band is the inter-quartile range (25th–75th percentile) — the spread of the “typical half” of the world. Each year uses that year’s frozen methodology bounds, so the trend reflects real change, not a moving yardstick.
