Sovereign Assets
Water, land, people, coastline, forest, energy and institutions. Recorded nation by nation, so that what a country holds can finance what its people are owed.
The rationale
Every nation publishes what it owes. Almost none records what it owns. Perfect Nations writes the second column.
A nation that knows what it owns can finance what it owes its people.
Five assets
Power, sea, ground, route and people: five kinds of national wealth, five nations with an open blueprint.
DR Congo
The Congo carries the second-largest flow of any river on Earth, after the Amazon. Inga 1 and Inga 2 have harnessed about 1.8 GW of it. The rest still runs to the sea.

Barbados
An island of about 430 square kilometres holds an exclusive economic zone 424 times larger. Fisheries, tourism, blue carbon and blue bonds all draw on the same water.

Botswana
Owned in equal shares by the Government of Botswana and De Beers, through Debswana: a structure that keeps half the value of the ground with the nation that holds it.

Angola, DR Congo and Zambia
The Benguela line runs from the port of Lobito to Luau: the shortest route from the mineral belts of the Congo and Zambia to the sea. A route is an asset. It earns every time something moves along it.

India
Public digital rails, built as shared national infrastructure and used by hundreds of millions of people. The asset is the people, and the institutions that let them transact.
