NATO Power Rankings: 2016

Postby DoomYoshi on Tue Jul 12, 2016 4:54 pm

This is totally different than the UN Power Rankings. I am ranking the countries of the world based on where their leaders stand in the portrait. The numbering is
a)first row starting middle then alternating left and right
b)second row using the same rule
c)third row using the same rule

This took me far longer than it should have, but it shows I was a bit rusty. It doesn't help that many countries' leaders never showed but instead sent Ministers. I had no idea who the butt pirate from Moldova was, for example. As far as I can tell, nobody on the internet has made this handy reference list, so this is my public service to the world for the day.

Miloš looks like he's getting tickled, or anticipating sex or something.

I just noticed that Francois Hollande isn't in the picture - he was at the event. I guess Dairy Queen really is better.
