Reading measured solar and wind data…
PV yield is long-term annual electricity per installed kilowatt, already reduced for heat losses. DNI matters for concentrated solar with storage. Wind is the measured mean at turbine hub height over a full calendar year, and power density shows usable energy in the wind. Solar + wind ranks zones strong in both, the profile for round-the-clock supply and green hydrogen.
Each country is read at its strongest documented zone, so large and small economies are compared on the same footing. Grid connection, land rights, water and financing are not scored here and must be checked for any specific site.
Sovereign Observatory
Access for governments, sovereign funds, family offices and research institutions. Eight instruments — Command, Country Dossier, Shock Propagation, Narrative Radar, Inter-Capital comparison, Ports & Chokepoints, the Renewable Energy Atlas and the Sovereign Memo — read one country state and one scenario at once. Every figure traces to a published register, measured data, documented geography or attributed reporting.
- Military capacity (0-100)
- Where the country sits in a published annual ranking of armed-forces strength (personnel, aircraft, armour, naval fleet, logistics), rescaled among Arab states: 100 = strongest in the region, 0 = weakest. Use it to gauge security weight and defence-market size.
- Media industry base (0-100)
- Documented production infrastructure: film/TV sound stages, media free zones and headquarters of pan-Arab news networks, equally weighted and scaled so the regional leader = 100. Blank means no documented facilities, not zero activity. Use it to choose production, broadcast and partnership locations.
