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.
