Which country is the world’s strongest? This is a rather easy question to answer since most would say that it’s the United States. But which nations come next? This is a little more difficult to decipher.
American billionaire Ray Dalio, chief investment officer at Bridgewater Associates, puts together 'The Great Powers Index' list every year of the strongest countries in the world every year based on their metrics like their gross domestic product, military strength, world trade, education levels, rule of law, and many more.
Dalio’s latest index for 2024 includes 24 different nations and a few of the countries on the list might surprise you. Let’s take a look at which nations are the strongest based on Dalio’s index rating ranging from 0 to 1, one being the strongest a country can be in 2024.
