The circle shows each metric's percentile rank (position among countries with data), which is comparable across metrics. Each metric's native score uses its own scale and is not comparable between metrics — see it (and the full formula) in “How is this calculated?”.

64percentileHow is this calculated?
- Metric
- Deaths in armed conflicts
- Scale
- 100 = fewest conflict deaths (most at peace), 0 = most
- Raw value
- 0 deaths per year
- Native score
- 63.71 — this metric's own 0–100 scale; not comparable to other metrics.
- Percentile rank
- 64th percentile — ranks 1st of 197. Comparable across metrics.
- Normalization
- Percentile rank across countries
score = 100 − [ percentile rank of 0 among 197 countries ] = 63.71The score is the country's position in the distribution. Direction is inverted (higher raw value = worse), so the position is subtracted from 100.

Ranks 120th of 237 · native score 39.11 · reference year 2023
50percentileHow is this calculated?
- Metric
- Median age
- Scale
- 100 = oldest median age, 0 = youngest — descriptive, not better or worse
- Raw value
- 32.037 years
- Native score
- 39.11 — this metric's own 0–100 scale; not comparable to other metrics.
- Percentile rank
- 50th percentile — ranks 120th of 237. Comparable across metrics.
- Normalization
- Min–max (rescaled against the dataset)
score = 100 · (32.04 − 14.32) / (59.63 − 14.32) = 39.11Min and max are this dataset's lowest (14.32) and highest (59.63) values, so the score is relative to the current country set.
