Hegemony-aware CINC v6 + Maddison 2023 + reach; 1990-2026 blended into the country score (exact 2026). LATENT = material mass; RECOGNIZED = spending + productive economy + reach + curated status (P5 seat, nuclear, Concert recognition, bloc leadership).Tiers are relative to each year’s leader. Latent and recognised sub-indices are computed from 1816; pre-1816 figures are curated estimates shown as tiers only under the Power lens.
