Electrum Statistics Office

Nations must not be FT, and must be within this time, or in the distant future. This is so the integrity of the measure isn't affected.

In the pursuit of economic development and international cooperation, the Electrum Statistics Office will be providing statistical information about the nations of the multiverse, to give better information for companies and organisations wanting to expand their firms throughout the multiverse. The Electrum Statistics Office will be providing several economic indicators so that these multinational firms can gauge which nations to expand their business to, as well as providing aid organisations up-to-date information where help is needed the most.

Please note that this information is self-reported, and the Electrum Statistics Office does not check information for accuracy. This is meant as an indicator only. There will be established rankings for each index, and we will strive to update the rankings once every few days. The following economic indicators which are provided by the ESO are:

Human Development Index
Human Poverty Index (Developed and Developing Nations)
Gender Development Index
Gender Empowerment Measure

Human Development Index

Code: Select all: [b]Human Development Index[/b] Life Expectancy (maximum 85): Mean Years of Schooling (maximum 15): Expected Years of Schooling (maximum 18): Gross National Income per capita (in Universal Standard Dollars, PPP):

Human Poverty Index
Note, this is split into developed and undeveloped nations. Choose the right index.

Code: Select all: [b]Human Poverty Index (DEVELOPED NATIONS)[/b] Probability of those born today to surviving to age 60: Percentage of adults without functional literacy skills: Percentage of population below relative poverty line: Percentage of work force that are long-term unemployed (12 months unemployed): [b]Human Poverty Index (UNDEVELOPED NATIONS)[/b] The following requires a percentage of a particular population, please express all in percentages (cannot be greater than 100) or decimals (cannot be greater than 1.0) Probability of those born today to surviving to age 40: Percentage of adults that are literate: Percentage of entire population with access to an improved water source: Percentage of children that are underweight:

Gender Related Indices (GDI - Gender Development Index and GEM - Gender Empowerment Measure)

Code: Select all: [b]Gender Development Index[/b] Female Life Expectancy (maximum 87.5): Female Population Share (of the whole population): Female Adult Literacy Rate: % of Females that are school-aged still in school: Average Female earned income (year): Male Life Expectancy (maximum 82.5): Male Population Share (of the whole population): Male Adult Literacy Rate: % of Males that are school-aged still in school: Average Male earned income (year): [b]Gender Empowerment Measure[/b] Female Population Share: % Parliamentary seats held by females: % legislators/senior officials/managers that are female: % professionals/technical positions held by females: Average Female earned income (year): Average Male earned income (year):

Explanation for some factors
Life Expectancy: What someone born today's life span will be on average, including infant mortality
Mean Years of Schooling: Average number of years of education completed by a country’s 25+ years population, excluding years spent repeating grades.
Expected Years of Schooling: Years that a 5-year-old child will spend on their education in their whole life on average including years spent repeating grades
GNIpc: The total income of all citizens of a nation, whether their location, divided by the amount of citizens (excludes foreigners in the particular nation). Assume purchasing power parity at Universal Standard Dollar levels.
Improved water source: See here
Internet connection speeds: See here for comparison, note values are quoted here at megabytes per second, instead of bytes
Relative Poverty Line: 50% of median income

²: All students are required to graduate from an Academy, which takes an average of 20 years, starting at age five.

³: The Dragomerian population gets paid in the Dragomerian currency called the Credit. Each Credit is worth $10. Due to that currency also being the smallest (and only) denomination, an average pay-check of 10,000 Credits is given.

⁴: 4 gigabit/second is the speed for wireless communications available for public usage, 32 gigabit is the internet speed when on the fiber-optic network that is spread across the entire country.

NOTE: The Dragomerian Islands is a very technologically centered nation.

List updated.

Dragomerian Islands, although I very much doubt your statistics - the maximums are there for a reason - I've put them up. I've only inputted the maximum permissible values, so that they don't extend the scope of the HD Index. The true values are a bit higher then what they should be.

Ok. That is understandable. When those equations were made in RL, those people did not think about if a nation had higher numbers.
