Rule of Law

Nomadino rule-of-law index on a 0-100 scale. Higher is better. The raw value combines a WGI Rule of Law core, judicial independence and limits on government power, corruption and impunity, civil/criminal and administrative justice, fundamental-rights safeguards, and order and enforcement plausibility checks. Score equals raw value.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino rule-of-law index from 0 to 100 points. 100 means independent courts, clear and fair laws, equal application, effective remedies and reliable enforcement; low values indicate arbitrariness, politicised justice, impunity, corruption or state collapse.

The calculation combines six components: 35% WGI rule-of-law core, 20% judicial independence and constraints on power, 15% corruption and impunity, 15% civil, criminal and administrative justice, 10% fundamental rights and equality, and 5% order and enforcement plausibility.

The public source families are the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators, World Justice Project Rule of Law Index, V-Dem, Freedom House, Bertelsmann Transformation Index and Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index. Nomadino harmonises these signals with maintained indicators for government efficiency, corruption, police effectiveness, property rights, democracy, press freedom, political expression, fundamental rights, social cohesion, active conflicts and organized crime.

The indicator does not reward mere order, hard enforcement or business-friendly dispute resolution. Authoritarian legality can score solidly, but not very highly where courts, media, opposition, fundamental rights or independent oversight are practically constrained.

Active war, state collapse, politicised courts, missing remedies, systematic impunity, hard repression, extreme corruption or heavy organized crime can trigger ceilings. Territories without full source coverage use harmonised fallbacks based on administering state, local legal framework, autonomy, regional comparators and administrative influence.

The score equals the raw value. A higher raw value therefore improves the ranking.
