MPR Scoring Algorithm Summary

How MPR Scores Are Calculated

The Military Power Ranking (MPR) Algorithm is a scenario-informed, simulation-validated scoring system that quantifies a nation’s ability to win modern wars. It assesses 114 factors across 11 core categories, covering everything from manpower and weapons systems to command resilience, strategic alliances, and terrain advantages.

What sets MPR apart from legacy rankings is that it does not reward size alone. Instead, it evaluates how a country would perform in the specific kind of war it is most likely to fight. It uses a multi-stage process involving normalization, weighting, qualitative adjustments, strategic modifiers, and a doctrine-based alignment multiplier (WAM).
