Change in index, by region
One dot per nation. The bar marks each region’s mean. Further left is a larger fall.
Does capability protect?
Each nation’s baseline index against its fall. Stronger nations absorb more of the shock, so they sit higher; so do nations with low exposure.
Where the load lands
Mean change in each capability domain across all nations.
What policy is worth
The 20 hardest-hit nations under three policy responses. The distance from circle to square is what current buffers absorb; from square to diamond is what best practice would add.
All 197 nations
Rank shift is the change in the nation’s place among all nations once every index is stressed: up means it held up better than its neighbours. The weakest point is the capability left lowest among those the scenario singles out.

Settings of this run
- Load
- 10 capability groups singled out, 56 loaded in all, of 73. A band on the capability scale is three points wide, so a High load moves a fully exposed, unprotected capability down one band. A capability group that the scenario does not single out takes its domain's load one level lower.

Absorption is the nation's mean score on the scenario's buffer capabilities as a share of the top of the scale, times 0.75: a nation at the frontier on every buffer absorbs three quarters of the shock.
- Exposure
- regional exposure (40%); industry as a share of gdp (ranked) (35%); trade in goods and services relative to gdp (ranked) (25%). Exposure is set nation by nation: a weighted blend of indicators from the 2025 World Factbook and the scenario's regional exposure. Where a nation does not report an indicator, its weight passes to the others.
- Likelihood
- 54 per cent over three years and 40 per cent over ten, as used in the vulnerability index.
