Warconomy ranks only by comparable metrics. The metric-based rankings use one shared, source-linked metric each (chokepoints by EIA oil transit; defense by SIPRI national spend). The category ranking below is explicitly count-based — number of live indicators, sources, and high-priority reviews per category — not a quality judgement. Not real-time; counts are computed against the curated reference date.
- Metric rankings: chokepoints (EIA oil transit), defense (SIPRI spend).
- Category ranking is count-based, clearly labeled as counts.
- Only comparable metrics are ranked; not real-time.
Metric-based rankings
