The Complete Country Rankings Database for 2025
CountryRank is a free, comprehensive country rankings database that lets you compare all 195 internationally recognized countries across more than 15 major global indices. Whether you want to know which country has the highest GDP, the most powerful passport, the happiest population, or the strongest military, CountryRank gives you a clear, ranked view backed by respected international sources.
Why Country Rankings Matter
Understanding how countries compare on key metrics is essential for students, researchers, investors, travellers, policymakers, and curious minds alike. A single country's GDP figure tells one story; seeing it ranked against 194 other nations tells a far richer one. World rankings by country help reveal patterns in global development, inequality, geopolitical power, and human wellbeing that raw numbers alone cannot convey.
How to Use CountryRank
Use the Search Countries box to find any country and see its profile across all 15 ranking categories at once. Use Search Categories to pick a specific index — like GDP or Happiness — and see all 195 countries ranked from top to bottom. Every country links back to every category and every category links back to every country.
