Geostrategic power index, recapitulation and kick off.

Ok so here we are in the sweltering summer heat and Putin have achieved his take over of the Crimea since everybody now is preoccupied with the unfoulding situation in Eastern Ukraine.  exactly as i predicted in March of this year.
Never mind now i will resume and update the geostrategic Power index with figures for past, present and the future to be able to see how the Power centre of gravity have / will move over time.
I will also do the same for some of the variables that is part of the Power index calculations itself i.e. population, economy and military expenditure.

To recapitulate in the meantime here are the concerned centroid positions ( center of gravity on the earths Surface ) as of year 2012:

- Population
—Demographic centre of gravity: Latitude = 30° , Longitude = 76° (North-west India)

- Economy
—Economic (BNP) centre of gravity: Latitude = 55° , Longitude = 53° (Russia, South-east of the city Kazan) 
 - Military expenditure

—Military expenditure centre of gravity: Latitude = 61° , Longitude = - 85° (North-central Hudson bay, Canada)

- Geostrategic power index

—Geostrategic power centre of gravity: Latitude = 55° , Longitude = 84° (East of Novosibirsk, Siberia/Russia)   

 

 

Please remember when looking on the maps at the concerned centroid positions that i have arrived at these results in a highly scientific manner based on 60-70 million calculations. However it is important to keep in mind when looking at the maps and the centroid results displayed that the Earth is obviously not a flat surface but almost a perfect sphere and so with this in mind it is understandable that the centroid positions are situated on the eurasian landmass with the exception of the military expenditure centroid which is close to the US due to the unprecented elevation of the USA in this regard the last 2 decades after the demise of the Sovjet union. During this time and up to the recent present when the US have accounted for approx half of the Worlds total military expenditures.    

 

Finally in this recapitulation of the current situation i want to highliught the current year 2012) Power index ranking of countries where China is slightly on top ahead of the US with 20 % and 17 % of the Worlds total Power respectively.

Geostrategic power index results:

1. China                                        20 %
2. USA                                          17 %
3. India                                            8 %
4. Russia                                         7 %
5. France                                         4 %
6. UK                                              4 %
7. NorthKorea                                 3 %
8. Pakistan                                      3 %
9. Israel                                           3 %
10. Brazil                                          3 %
11. Japan                                           3 %
12. Germany                                     2 %
13. Rest of World                           23 %
