The International Assessment Indices

Nordstjerne

I’m working on a series of calculations to accurately compare nations based on NationStates’ World Census. Simply plug your numbers in and enjoy!

A teensy note: I know NationStates doesn’t always represent nations accurately according to how they roleplay. Nothing is stopping you from inserting your own numbers.

The Quality Government Index

This index is used to find and classify the various governments of the world.

Core Integrity Pillar (40% Weight)

Equation: (Integrity+(100-Corruption)+(100-(Authortarianism/10)))/3

Public Welfare/Sustainability (35% Weight)

Equation: ((Public Healthcare/100) + (Public Transport/100) + (Eco Friendliness/100) + (Foreign Aid/100))/4

State Efficiency and Freedom Balance (25% Weight)

Equation: ((100 - Government Size) + (100 - |Taxation - ((Freedom from Taxation+400)/5)|))/2

QGI = (Core Integrity * 0.40) + (Public Welfare/Sustainability * 0.35) + (State Efficiency and Freedom Balance * 0.25)

Classifications:

These are used to categorize your nations based on your score.

Tier 1: Despotic Autocracy (Score: 0 – 25)

High corruption, crushing authoritarianism, and near-zero public investment. The state exists purely to enrich the ruling elite while infrastructure crumbles.

Tier 2: Flawed Administration (Score: 26 – 50)

The government functions, but is heavily weighed down by systemic corruption, inefficiency, or mild authoritarian overreach. Public services are unevenly distributed.

Tier 3: Transparent Meritocracy (Score: 51 – 70)

Exceptionally high institutional honesty and low corruption. The government is well-meaning and structurally clean, but its overall score is kept moderate by ongoing economic friction (like high taxes) or public services that are still scaling up.

Tier 4: Model Social Democracy (Score: 71 – 85)

Flawless integrity metrics combined with heavily funded, highly efficient public infrastructure (healthcare, transit, and green initiatives). The government manages to provide massive public utilities while keeping bureaucracy under control.

Tier 5: Apex Governance (Score: 86 – 100)

A nearly impossible NationStates balance. Absolute transparency, zero corruption, legendary public services, and a hyper-efficient fiscal system that somehow maximizes public welfare without crushing individual economic freedom.

Reference Points:

Below are the scores of United Jacaria and Nordstjerne to act as a reference point.

United Jacaria scored a 62.40, placing it in Tier 3: Transparent Meritocracy
Nordstjerne scored a 56.85, placing it in Tier 3: Transparent Meritocracy

Economic Factor Index

This index is used to put a nation’s economy to the test. Older nations with higher populations and diversified industries tend to score higher.

Macroeconomic Environment (50% Weight)

Equation: (Economy + Economic Freedom + (GDP per capita/1000))/3

Industrial Scale and Depth (40% Weight)

Equation: (The Sum of All 15 Industries)/500

State Support (10% Weight)

Equation: (Business Subsidization/50)

EFI = (Macroeconomic Environment * 0.50) + (Industrial Scale and Depth * 0.40) + (State Support * 0.10)

Classifications:

These are used to categorize your nations based on your score.

Tier 1: Agrarian / Primitive Economy (0 – 25)

Minimal industrial output, heavily reliant on low-value primary sectors (Trout, Basket Weaving), with a weak or failing macroeconomic core.

Tier 2: Developing / Specialized Market (26 – 50)

Pockets of strong industrial success (e.g., high Automobile or Arms manufacturing), but lack a broad service sector or suffer from restricted economic freedoms.

Tier 3: Diversified Industrial State (51 – 70)

A robust mix of heavy manufacturing, modern IT/Insurance services, and steady resource extraction, backed by a strong general economy.

Tier 4: Post-Industrial Powerhouse (71 – 85)

Elite economic output. Highly advanced service sectors (IT, Insurance, Retail) operating with massive economic freedom and high efficiency.

Tier 5: Global Economic Hyper-Engine (86 – 100)

Flawless macroeconomic indicators, maximum economic freedom, and hyper-profitable across every single industrial sector simultaneously.

Reference Points:

Below are the scores of United Jacaria and Nordstjerne to act as a reference point.

United Jacaria scored a 100.00, placing it in Tier 5: Global Economic Hyper-Engine
Nordstjerne scored a 57.51, placing it in Tier 3: Diversified Industrial State

Social Wellness and Harmony Index

This index is used to gauge a society’s safety, acceptance, and ideals. Higher-ranking nations tend to be more libertarian in their policies and have populations devoted to niceness.

Social Empathy and Harmony (30% Weight)

Equation: (Compassion + Niceness + Cheerfulness + Inclusiveness + Pacifism + (100 - Rudeness) + (100 - Charmlessness) + (100 - Political Apathy))/8

Human Vitality and Growth (30% Weight)

Equation: (Human Development Index + Health + Lifespan + Intelligence + (Public Education/400) + (Scientific Advancement/50) + (Food Quality/5) + (Average Income/1000) + (100 - Death Rate) + (100 - Ignorance) + (100- Obesity) + (100 - Wealth Gaps))/12

Safety, Order, and Personal Freedom (25% Weight)

Equation: (Safety + (Accessibility/25) + Political Freedom + Civil Rights + Nudity + Recreational Drug Use + (100 - Crime) + (100 - Weaponization) + (100 - (Law Enforcement/50)) + (100 - Youth Rebelliousness))/10

Ideological and State Footprint (15% Weight)

Equation: ((100 - (Compliance/50)) + (100 - Patriotism) + (100 - Social Conservatism) + (100 - Ideological Radicality) + ((Primitiveness+1000)/11) + (100 - (Defense Forces/100)) + (Population in Millions/100))/7

SWHI = (Social Empathy and Harmony * 0.30) + (Human Vitality and Growth * 0.30) + (Safety, Order, and Personal Freedom * 0.25) + (Ideological and State Footprint * 0.15)

Classifications:

These are used to categorize your nations based on your score.

Tier 1: Predatory Society (Score: 0 – 25)

Life here is a constant struggle. Citizens face rampant crime, heavy-handed police brutality, high mortality rates, or severe systemic ignorance. People are deeply rude, hostile, and miserable, treating everyday life as a cutthroat game of pure survival.

Tier 2: Strained Collective (Score: 26 – 50)

The society is functional but cold and deeply repressed. It is heavily weighed down by intense social conservatism, forced state compliance, high wealth gaps, or public charmlessness. People follow the rules out of fear or apathy rather than genuine care for their neighbors.

Tier 3: Harmonious Commonwealth (Score: 51 – 70)

A safe, stable, and generally pleasant place to live. The population is decently educated, healthy, and polite. There is a healthy balance between public safety laws and personal freedoms, making it a very recognizable, middle-of-the-road modern society.

Tier 4: Egalitarian Sanctuary (Score: 71 – 85)

Exceptional quality of life. The culture overflows with compassion, cheerfulness, and absolute inclusivity. Citizens enjoy vast bodily autonomy (high freedom regarding nudity and recreational choices), elite public healthcare, and negligible crime.

Tier 5: Apex Renaissance Society (Score: 86 – 100)

The absolute pinnacle of human coexistence. The state footprint has melted into the background because citizens are naturally maxed out on intelligence, kindness, and pacifism. It is a flawless, worry-free paradise where everyone is safe, healthy, brilliant, and remarkably nice to one another.

The Geopolitical Stability and Security Index

This index is used to gauge a nation’s risk of internal conflict, stability, and military readiness.

Sovereign Control (35% Weight)

Equation: (Political Freedom + Civil Rights + Safety + Patriotism + Compliance + (100 - Ideological Radicality) + (100 - Corruption))/7

Military Readiness (35% Weight)

Equation: ((Defense Forces/100) + Weaponization + (100 - Crime) + (100 - Youth Rebelliousness) + (100 - (Pacifism/4)))/5

Infrastructural Resilience and Logistics (30% Weight)

Equation: ((Accessibility/25) + (Scientific Advancement/50) + Intelligence + (Public Education/400) + (100 - Political Apathy) + (100 - (Population in Millions/100)) + (100 - ((Primitiveness + 1000)/11)))/7

GSSI = (Sovereign Control * 0.35) + (Military Readiness * 0.35) + (Infrastructural Resilience and Logistics * 0.30)

Tier 1: Failed/Compromised Zone (Score: 0 – 25)

The state has completely lost control of its borders and institutions. A rogue military junta or corporate plutocracy has seized the infrastructure, civil rights have plummeted to zero, and the populace is heavily radicalized or actively terrorized. The territory is highly vulnerable to immediate foreign invasion or total kinetic erasure.

Tier 2: Straining Regime (Score: 26 – 50)

The nation possesses a functional military or government, but suffers from massive internal friction. High levels of corruption, domestic crime, youth rebelliousness, or severe logistical weaknesses (like high political apathy or primitive infrastructure) leave it exposed. A surprise attack, like an unexpected missile strike, could easily fracture the society.

Tier 3: Stable Power (Score: 51 – 70)

A highly secure, well-balanced nation. The government enjoys strong civic legitimacy, the population is well-educated and unified during a crisis, and the military is fully prepared for defensive operations. Pockets of vulnerability exist—such as a large population strain or moderate pacifism slow down wartime mobilization—but the core structure is remarkably safe.

Tier 4: Fortified Progressive Stronghold (Score: 71 – 85)

Exceptional stability and high-tech defense capabilities. The state features seamless infrastructure accessibility, advanced scientific networks, and a populace fiercely dedicated to maintaining order. It can instantly absorb severe external shocks, protect its borders, and project localized power while maintaining total constitutional integrity.

Tier 5: Apex Sovereign Hegemon (Score: 86 – 100)

The absolute pinnacle of state security. It combines multi-century scientific advancement with a 100% crime-free domestic landscape and a massive, hyper-efficient defense force. Because public compliance and structural patriotism are perfectly synchronized with absolute political freedom, the state can mobilize large portions of its citizens and budget instantly to wage an absolute war without breaking a single civilian institution.
