Here is the top 25 military nation's for 2024 by GDP. I have chosen 9 factors to determine a given nation's power index, while GDP uses 55. The smaller but more technologically advanced nation's can compete with larger though less developed ones. Modifiers in the form of bonuses and penalties are applied to further refine the list. The perfect powerindex score is ,0000, though realistically it's unattainable.Some qualities to observe in regards to the form finalizing ranking:Ranking does not rely solely on total numbers of weapons available to a country But rather focus on weapon diversity.Nuclear stockpiles are NOT taken into account but recognized/suspected nuclear powers are given a bonus.First world, second world and third world statuses are taken to account.Geographical factors, logistical flexibility, natural resources and local industries are influencer.Total available manpower is a key considerstion as it influences available personnel and industries.Landlocked nation's are NOT penalized for lack of a standing navy. However naval powers ARE penalized for lack of diversity in available assets.NATO allies recieve a sligt bonus due to the theoretical sharing of war making resources.A nation's financial stability/health is taken into account.Current political/military leadership is NOT taken into account.9 factors are accounted for the ranking.25 CanadaPower index rating: ,4356Total population:
