Build Your Own Ranking

Published weights โ†’
Re-weight the ATLAS Index Custom weighting

Every setting of the composite is a control below, at its published value. Move one and the 170 ranked countries are re-scored on the same six pillars โ€” the inventory points of the AIRS, SEAS and ARMS indexes, personnel, warheads and the PPP budget; the ฮ” column shows who moves against the published ranking. Your weighting lives in the page address โ€” copy it to share โ€” and is never the GlobalMilitary.net ranking.

Pillar weights
Curve and availability
# Country Your score ฮ” Manpower Ground Naval Air Nuclear Budget

Approximations: the inventory points of each branch are fixed at their published weighting (re-weight them on the air forces, navies and armies pages); the availability bounds of each branch and the nuclear posture modifiers stay fixed; each pillar is scored against the published world maximum, and the strongest total is set to 100. Everything else is the exact calculation of the methodology.
