Criteria we could use to judge & compare countries instead of GDP & military strength:

- % of population living in poverty
- child mortality
- average women’s educational level
- life expectancy
- standard of living for poorest 10% of population
- median leisure budget remaining after core expenses (rent, food, health, education)
- minimum wage v cost of living
- happiness index
- % population failed by social safety net
- preventable deaths
- environmental impact per population

You mean like the Better Place Index? https://www.thebetterplaceindex.report/map

(I created the interactive map for this)

The Better Place Index - Map

Any given Country is colour shaded as either doing well in the BPI [also through which factors] and/or doing poorly [and in what way/s]. Accordingly those blue shaded countries have higher Z-scores [toggle to contrast with] the green to yellow shades of those having lower Z-scores.
