Full analysis: why Sierra Leone ranks #131
Why Sierra Leone ranks #131
Sierra Leone scores 42.7 out of 100 and ranks #131 among 195 countries, between Bosnia and Herzegovina above and Malawi below. This figure is the Bureau’s single read on national power, built from nine components.
Strengths
The strongest component is Sovereignty at 57.5: unemployment near 3.2% — work for whoever wants it; 95% of its electricity from low-carbon sources
Weaknesses
The weakest component is Reach at 8.0: a median age of 20 — a nation of children, its workforce still in the classroom; a current-account deficit of $1 billion (8.0% of GDP) — living beyond its means
Trajectory
Quarterly momentum reads 0. Nothing in Jul–Sep 2026 moved the needle. The institutions functioned, the economy ran its course, and the world looked elsewhere. The Trajectory component itself scores 40.5. On the military board the country stands at 36.7, ranked #81. Head of government: Julius Maada Bio (President).
