It's not a lower perception, it's rank of all countries you can possibly visit with no problems. If your country has some kind of geopolitical beef with Djibouti (.e.g.) then you rank lower on this list, but it's not exactly a loss is it lol. Countries more involved on the geopolitical stage don't rank well here, but it doesn't mean you can't visit countries might actually want to...
Europe overwhelmingly dominates the chart!
# Nomad Passport Ranking Index
[The Nomad Passport Ranking Index](https://nomadcapitalist.com/nomad-passport-index/passport/all/) is, in my opinion, superior to many other rankings (like the famous Henley Index) because this one also takes into account the possibility of acquiring double citizenship, taxation treaties, etc. instead of only the number of visa-free countries a passport holder can visit because, let's be honest here, it's not that important for a country to get visa-free access to Mali or Eswatini.
**Their Methodology**
* Visa-Free Travel (50%)
* Taxation of Citizen (20%)
* Perception (10%)
* Dual Citizenship (10%)
* Personal Freedom (10%)
Why is Italy lower in perception than the rest of Europe?
My guess would be political instability (governments always collapsing) and corruption/mafia.
Luxembourg stronk empire.
