The GFP ranking makes use of over 40
factors to determine each nation's Power
Index ("PwrIndx") score. From this score,
the finalized ranking is generated. The
factors are set within our algorithm which
provides a fair canvas and allows smaller,
technologically advanced nations to
compete with larger, lesser-developed ones.
Additionally, various bonuses and penalties
are added for refinement. In the end, we
hope it presents an unbiased ranking and
realistic outlook on the conventional military
firepower and strength of a given country
for a given year. At the very least, this list can
be used to stir healthy debate amongst
visitors to GFP.
