Nations/Africa

🇿🇦South Africa

Every capability South Africa is rated on, in framework order. The published score for a capability is one integer out of 20; the group, domain, dimension and index figures are unweighted means of the level below, so hard, soft and economic power each count for a third. The seven rating bands are shown at capability and capability group level only — above that a score blends too many capabilities for one rating word to mean anything.
