What regional rank means

Countries are ordered by the MilitaryDex Strength Score. It summarizes reported resources; it does not model alliances, geography, readiness or conflict outcomes.

How totals are calculated

Regional totals add available country values. They are descriptive dataset aggregates, not estimates of a unified regional force. Missing values are treated as unavailable, not as confirmed zero.
