Full analysis: why Pakistan ranks #19
Why Pakistan ranks #32
Pakistan scores 63.75 out of 100 in Magna Bureau's national power rankings, placing it 32nd of 195 countries. It sits just behind the Netherlands and just ahead of Morocco, in a cluster where the gap between neighbors is measured in fractions of a point.
Strengths
Its strongest component is Absolute mass at 64.4, reflecting the sheer weight of a large population and economy. A nuclear arsenal puts it in the one club nobody joins by invitation, and defense spending of 2.5 percent of GDP is judged serious enough to deter without straining the treasury. The country is at peace, spending on foundations rather than bandages, and unemployment of 5.5 percent means nearly everyone who wants work finds it.
Weaknesses
The weakest link is Strategic leverage at just 12.5. Pakistan holds no seat at the Security Council table, so the world's most consequential votes happen without it, and no collective defense treaty binds any ally to bleed for it. It has no space capability, watching the space age from the ground floor, and no sovereign wealth fund, leaving no national savings to show for the boom years.
Trajectory
Momentum stands at 0 for the quarter. Steadiness was the defining trait: no rupture, no windfall, no surprise strong enough to move the score. The Trajectory component scores 38.9, while military power scores 42.1, ranking 42nd. The country is led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
