Full analysis: why Colombia ranks #54
Why Colombia ranks #41
Colombia ranks #41 of 195 countries in Magna Bureau's national power rankings, scoring 60.09 out of 100. It sits just below Oman and just above Kuwait. The score blends nine components, from absolute mass to trajectory, into a single measure of national power.
Strengths
Its strongest component is Absolute mass, at 69.2, well above the overall score. Colombia carries a defense burden of 3.4 percent, a level the model treats as sustainable rather than ruinous or free riding. It is at peace, so its budgets can build instead of repair, and it faces no multilateral sanctions, so its trade flows without legal friction. Foreign exchange reserves covering nine months of imports give it a cushion against external shocks.
Weaknesses
Its weakest component is Strategic leverage, at just 12.5, far below the overall score. Colombia holds no seat on the United Nations Security Council, so the world's most consequential votes are cast without it. It has no nuclear weapons and no meaningful power projection, so its military is built to stay home while crises happen abroad. It also has no sovereign wealth fund, meaning the boom years left receipts rather than savings.
Trajectory
Momentum for the quarter was flat at 0, a quarter in which little moved and the country's standing course was simply confirmed. The Trajectory component itself stands at 37.2. On the military side, Colombia scores 46.11, ranking #21 in the military table, backed by 260,000 active personnel. Abelardo de la Espriella, President, leads the country.
