2081 Orbis Livability Index

At long last- here we have it! The 2081 edition of the Orbis Livability Index!

I’ve been asked about when this will be coming out for a little while now; I’ve primarily focused on the nations who are currently active in bulletins as opposed to those who were major players in RP in 2079 when I made the first one. I'm sure I missed people, though, so please let me know if I did.

I was inspired by Dauchh Palki on this one: I’ve also calculated the average Orbis livability score to see how it compares to how it was in 2079 (all nations are counted, regardless of whether or not they were included in the 2079 O.L.I., but this is simply taking the average). The results show a decrease of 7.763 in average Orbis livability scores, meaning that Orbis is less livable as compared to how it was in 2079 -- a decrease was expected due to the Collapse, but the extent of this decrease potentially shows other factors at hand as well.

2079 Average Livability Score: 40.963 | 27 nations

2081 Average Livability Score: 33.2 | 15 nations (more to come; averages will be recalculated)

The scores for categories 1 and 2 (environmental and economic categories) were based on both looking at cities and national statistics (for pollution rates, nukes eaten, commerce and resource production levels, etc.) and at governmental policies in terms of pollution and alternate energy sources, economic policies and recent events such as the Collapse or other events that could affect these categories. Categories 3-5 were based on bulletins and communications from each nation.

As always, if you’d like to be added or if anything is inaccurate or outdated, please let me know and I can change it or add you! If I marked something as unclear, please clarify and I can change your score. I'll be updating the average every few days/whenever I add a lot of nations, just to ensure that it's accurate.

Categories:

Environment (pollution, radiation, disease rates, environmental protection policies, etc.)

Economic Status (GDP/GDP per capita, commerce and production rates, etc.)

Governmental stability

Human rights (stances on torture, capital punishment, etc. + potential violations of human rights)

Freedom of citizens (including religion, freedom of expression, voting rights, freedom of the press and more)
