# Political stability by nation — world ranking Political stability ranked across 179 nations, highest to lowest. Liechtenstein highest at 92.9 (2024). Each figure carries its publisher and observation… Canonical: https://terralore.co/rankings/political-stability Updated: 2026-08-10 (the governance domain's last refresh) Definition: Perceived likelihood of political instability or politically motivated violence, scored 0–100 (higher = more stable). Unit: score. Ordered highest to lowest — a ranking of figures, not a grading of nations. Ties share a rank. Note: these are the Worldwide Governance Indicators' absolute 0–100 scores — anchored to two hypothetical benchmark performers, not percentile ranks — and they aggregate perception surveys and expert assessments: model estimates of what is perceived, not direct measurements. The ranking order is computed by Terralore from those scores. ## Ranking (179 nations) | Rank | Nation | Value | Observed | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | Liechtenstein | 92.9 | 2024 | | 2 | Andorra | 92.3 |

2024 | ## No data (7 nations) These nations publish no figure for this indicator in the sources below. Absence is a fact about the world's statistical apparatus, not a zero — they are not ranked. - Antarctica — Antarctica has no permanent population and no national government — it is administered under the Antarctic Treaty. No statistical agency compiles national indicators for it, so there is nothing here to report. - Falkland Islands — The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory, administered by the United Kingdom; sovereignty is disputed by Argentina. They are not a separate reporting entity in World Bank datasets. - French Southern and Antarctic Lands — The French Southern and Antarctic Lands have no permanent civilian population. They are administered from Réunion as an overseas territory of France and are not a separate reporting entity in international datasets. - Northern Cyprus — Northern Cyprus is recognised as a state by Türkiye alone. It is not a member of the United Nations or the World Bank, and does not appear as a separate entity in the datasets these indicators are drawn from. - Somaliland — Somaliland declared independence in 1991 and has not been recognised by the United Nations or any member state. Where its figures are collected at all, they are reported within Somalia's. - Taiwan — Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations, and is excluded from the World Bank and UN series that supply most of this dossier. Its own statistical agencies publish extensively. - Vatican City — Vatican City has a resident population of a few hundred and does not compile the economic and social series these indicators are drawn from. ## Sources - Worldwide Governance Indicators (via World Bank API) — Worldwide Governance Indicators / World Bank · CC BY 4.0 · accessed 2026-08-10 · https://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/worldwide-governance-indicators Citation template: Terralore, "Political stability by nation — world ranking", terralore.co/rankings/political-stability, retrieved .
