I have been busy lately and got myself a new job so the blog have been "silent" for some time. I will now restart work and calculate the historic and forecasted geostrategic power index values as well as the corresponding geographic locations for the center of gravity (centroids) over time.
Exciting stuff coming up then in 1-2 weeks time.
