About this valuation
This valuation is computed monthly by the WHITEFLAG sovereign asset valuation framework, a five-scenario model
that prices nations as transferable enterprise units. See the
full methodology for the formulas and data sources.
The human-capital and industrial bases are blended with the World Bank Changing Wealth of Nations 2020 stock, rescaled onto the framework's computed scale; the land base uses the computed value alone (CWON and the computed value differ by more than 5x); the resource base uses the computed value alone (CWON and the computed value differ by more than 5x).
