Daily Info Dose breaks down the true military, economic and geopolitical power of countries — and brings you the day's biggest science and technology stories. No noise. Just the facts that matter, in a few sharp minutes.
Our flagship history and geopolitics series, published in order. Each episode measures one country's real power — its military strength, economy, resources, diplomacy and weaknesses. Watch them below, or explore the full History Series page.
One country with under 5% of the world's population spends more on its military than the next nine nations combined, produces about a quarter of Earth's entire economic output, and issues the world's reserve currency.
The second-largest country on Earth holds more lakes than the rest of the world combined, the third-largest proven oil reserves and about a fifth of the planet's surface fresh water — yet fields a deliberately modest military.
Not the biggest, richest or most populous country on Earth — yet France holds about 290 nuclear warheads, the world's second-largest maritime zone and a permanent UN Security Council veto.
One of the smallest countries on the map holds the world's third-largest natural gas reserves, the giant North Field, a sovereign wealth fund of roughly $500 billion, and the largest US military base in the Middle East.
An island of about 68 million people, with an empire long gone — yet Britain still sits at every top table on Earth: finance, war, diplomacy and intelligence.
The only major country whose constitution renounces war forever is now running a record defence build-up, fielding one of the world's strongest navies and preparing its carriers for F-35B stealth jets.
The only country the United States officially treats as its pacing rival — the world's biggest manufacturer, the largest navy by hulls, and a missile force built to keep American carriers at a distance.
The only Muslim-majority country on Earth with nuclear weapons — an estimated 170 warheads and 660,000 troops under arms, built and held by an economy a fraction of its rival's size.
Alongside the Nation Power series, Daily Info Dose covers the science and technology stories shaping tomorrow — artificial intelligence, space exploration, robotics and the inventions changing everyday life.
Country power rankings, turning points of world history, and the stories behind the nations that shape our world — researched, scripted and produced as original videos.
