* '''Liberals/Population''', the obvious choice. Ranges from 0 to 1. Choose an suitable transformation, such as x-> tan(x*pi/2) if you want it to range over [zero,infinity]. Or the negative logarithm, to whatever base you like. Would make it behave like pH, or scale of Richter

* '''Liberals/(Population-Liberal)''', the second obvious choice. Maps naturally from zero to infinity.
