 But countries without central banks are not free.

 I don't think there are any countries that are truly free of a central bank, it just means they are controlled by someone else's.

Examples are:
Andorra	- EUR
Kiribati	- AUD
Marshall Islands	- USD
Micronesia	- USD
Monaco	- EUR
Nauru	- AUD
Palau 	- USD
Panama	- USD
Tuvalu	 - AUD

I was just pointing out that some may be thinking a country without a central bank is somehow free, which is incorrect.

Yes. Bitcoin fixes thus. Central banks are s menace to society.

 Yeah 100%. I happen to live in a place without a central bank but the currency they use has them by the balls. Its a significant disadvantage for a government not to be able to print 💰💰💰

 To not be able to print, never mind tighten the money supply.

 Not related, the reverse isn't true of the above statement. Like saying "free markets don't have Minitries of Truth," wouldn't suggest everyone was free if they simply don't have a Ministry of Truth.
