Full analysis: why Libya ranks #65
Why Libya ranks #38
Libya scores 60.75 out of 100 in Magna Bureau's national power rankings, placing it 38th of 195 countries. It sits just behind Argentina and just ahead of Thailand, a fraction of a point separating three countries on three continents.
Strengths
Its strongest component is Sovereignty at 85.0. No multilateral sanctions shadow its trade, which is worth more than any single deal, and hard power is rising, with growth plus rearmament pointing up. It is judged a generally reliable ally, and foreign exchange reserves covering 33 months of imports are a war chest that lets the country stare down any storm.
Weaknesses
The weakest link is Reach at just 9.3. Libya holds no seat at the Security Council table, lobbying a council it can never command, and it holds no nuclear weapons, facing states whose last word is a warhead with no last word of its own. Its army is built to stay home while crises happen abroad, and unemployment at 18.7 percent means the economy has no room for its own people, the most expensive waste a country can afford.
Trajectory
Momentum stands at 0 for the quarter. It was a neutral quarter in the truest sense: nothing happened that altered the country's course or standing. The Trajectory component scores 56.5, while military power scores 30.56, ranking 138th. The country is governed by a transitional authority whose status is contested.
