Awaiting data
No archetype yet — not enough sourced stats to classify one. The archetype is derived from the leadership stat profile; it populates once enough dimensions are sourced.
Moderate exposure
Fared far better than comparable crises
Worst year (2020) — 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 8 mandate-years (2019–2026), 3 of 4 shock components present; damage ranked against 448 comparable crises.
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 0% of its raw percentile because tenure-mean coverage tone skews unfavourable — hostile attention isn't credited as positive reach.
Economy score of 43 indicates ongoing challenges with macroeconomic management in Tunisia.
Communication score of 12 — the leadership barely registers in the public arena, limiting its ability to build support or steer the narrative.
