What Nations Own

Sovereign assets no balance sheet has counted

Second-largest rainforest on Earth

The Congo Basin

Forest & Wild

The largest tropical carbon sink still absorbing more than it emits. Almost none of its value is recorded on a national account.

Republic of the Congo · and five neighbours

One waterfall, two economies

Mosi-oa-Tunya

Water & Rivers

The largest sheet of falling water in the world, held jointly by two nations. The same river carries Kariba, which lights both grids.

Zambia and Zimbabwe

A river that ends in the desert

The Okavango Delta

Water & Rivers

A river that never reaches the sea, run on high-value, low-volume terms. Botswana chose to earn more from fewer visitors.

Botswana

Light never invoiced

The Namib and the Sperrgebiet

Sun, Wind & Power

Among the best combined sun and wind resources anywhere. Green ammonia at Tsau Khaeb would turn that light into an export.

Namibia

The largest overland migration

The Great Migration

Forest & Wild

Close to two million animals crossing the Serengeti and the Mara every year, anchoring two premium tourism economies.

Tanzania and Kenya

Perfect Capita · the new GDP

The number a nation has to produce

The annual output per citizen a nation must reach so that nobody falls short of seven standards.

GDP per capita

What a nation produced last year.

Perfect Capita

What it must produce so nobody falls short.

  • 01 Food Enough of it, year round. $4.46 Per person, per day Cost of a healthy diet, global average, 2024. FAO, SOFI 2025.

  • 04 Energy Power at the wall. $53bn Global, per year Universal electricity at $45bn plus $8bn for clean cooking. IEA and Tracking SDG7, 2025.

  • 06 Health Care without first deciding whether to afford it. $271 Per person, per year SDG3 targets, 67 low and middle income countries. Stenberg et al., Lancet Global Health, 2017.
  • 07 Livelihood Work that pays enough to keep the other six. $1.4tn Global, per year Universal social protection gap, 133 low and middle income countries. ILO, 2024.

Set by the weakest standard, not the average.

Every figure is published and attributed. Units differ: food, education and health are per person; the others are global annual totals.

Capital Architecture

Capital tied to human outcomes

What we designFour are established instruments. We design the structure: which one closes which gap, for which nation, against which asset. The fifth is ours.
