Alright folks, I have here the first part of my first NCON regional report on the balance of power in the region. Smaller nations have been excluded from this report because they are too small at this moment in time to pose any risk of altering the balance of power.

*Nations are ranked according to their Military-Industrial Complex Efficiency, that is, the level of efficiency at which their share of NCON defence spending converts into their share of NCON military stength. Highly ranked nations have higher military strengths relative to defence spending, with lower ranked nations having lower military strengths relative to defence spending. Nations with a conversion rate of 100% or higher are efficient, nations with a conversion rate lower than 100% are not efficient.

NCON power rankings:**
1.) Athretvari: 2,030
2.) 46566: 1,865
3.) Saratoga: 1,050
4.) Moarfall: 925
5.) Wicko: 860
6.) Nedea: 735
7.) Croxoco: 570
8.) Guadalajara: 490
9.) Airatania: 460
10.) Texasiva: 375
11.) Ivstinian: 280
12.) CN Florida: 200
13.) Piricia: 85
14.) Barmha: 65
15.) Copper States: 20

**Nations are scored according to their shares of NCON economic output and military strength, and then ranked according to those scores. Power in this measurement is relational; for one nation to gain power relative to another, that other must lose power.

Analysis and evaluations based on these stats will be posted later (once I've finished writing them).
