OVERVIEW

The finalized Global Firepower ranking utilizes over 55 individual factors to determine a given nation's PowerIndex ('PwrIndx')
score. Our unique, in-house formula allows for smaller, more technologically-advanced, nations to compete with larger, lesser-
developed, ones. Modifiers (in the form of bonuses and penalties) are applied to further refine the list. A perfect PwrIndex score is
0.0000 (realistically unattainable in the scope of the current GFP formula). View notes here.
