What the map measures
The six views use the same country records as MilitaryDex rankings and profiles. Colors are recalculated for the selected measure and region, while the displayed value remains the underlying dataset value.

How to read the colors
Darker-to-lighter green indicates a lower-to-higher value within the active view. Inventory and budget measures use a logarithmic scale so one very large country does not flatten every other difference.
What it cannot predict
The map is a comparative reference, not a forecast of readiness, alliance support, geography, logistics or conflict outcomes. A higher inventory or score does not guarantee operational advantage.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Which countries appear on the map?
The basemap shows world country boundaries. Military values and interactive profiles are available for the 145 countries in the current MilitaryDex dataset; other areas remain marked as no data.
Why does changing the region change the colors?
The map focuses on the selected region and recalculates its color scale against countries in that group. This makes regional differences visible without changing any country's underlying value.
Is the map a ranking of who would win a war?
No. It visualizes selected quantitative measures. It does not model readiness, command quality, geography, alliances, sustainment or possible conflict scenarios.
