IFED Intelligence Index

Political Security Index

Comparative political security and stability ranking — a counterweight to favorable tax structure when comparing jurisdictions. Higher scores indicate greater perceived political stability and lower violence/fragility risk.

Not a travel, investment, or security advisory. Scores are IFED composites from public governance, peace, and fragility indicators; they lag events and may not reflect local conditions. Regional peer estimates are labeled.

Scale: 0–100 (higher is more favorable)·221 countries in dataset
