Worst year (2025) — shock drivers
Each is a global percentile: how this year's shock compares to every country-year on record. Disaster shocks are not yet sourced (no open-licensed annual series).
Sourced from 2 mandate-years (2025–2026), 2 of 4 shock components present.
International diplomatic events the country takes part in (GDELT Events) — country-level
Share of international interactions coded cooperative vs conflictual — country-level
Favourability of foreign coverage of the leader on diplomacy — leader-level
Distinct foreign source countries covering the leader on diplomacy — leader-level
Partial coverage: 70% of the formula's weight is currently sourced; the score renormalises over what's present. Remaining components appear as data lands.
Reach is discounted to 63% of its raw percentile because tenure-mean coverage tone skews unfavourable — hostile attention isn't credited as positive reach.
