Stability Score?How the stability score is computedA weighted composite of seven pillars— conflict intensity, event volatility, arms activity, economic health, market stress, sanctions exposure, and humanitarian proxy. Each pillar is scored 0–100 (higher = healthier). The composite is weighted (conflict 25%, economy 20%, events 15%, the rest 10% each) and recomputed daily from strategic events, World Bank indicators, arms-transfer data, and sanctions records.

Risk tier: Critical < 25 · High 25–50 · Elevated 50–75 · Stable≥ 75.

Norway can teach the UK about energy security - but the lesson is not more North Sea drilling
US-Israel attacks on Iran triggered the worst global energy crisis since 1973, devastating UK energy security since oil and gas comprise 75 percent of supply. Norway's model-prioritizing electric heat pumps over fossil fuels-offers better resilience than increased North Sea drilling.

+Methodology · how this profile is built

This profile draws from four data tiers. Baseline facts (geography, languages, religion) are from the CIA World Factbook snapshot of January 2026 — the final snapshot before the website was retired. Economic indicators refresh daily from the World Bank. Events, conflicts, dispatches, and entity mentions flow continuously from our continuous intelligence graph — sources come online as we add them. Intelligence briefs are generated daily under ICD 203 analytic-tradecraft standards.

Coverage of Norway will sharpen as we add local-language sources. Every field above carries a provenance chip so you can judge freshness for yourself.
