Note: This country is classified as a microstate (population under 300,000) and is indexed but not included in GEFRI global or regional rankings. Microstates are excluded from rankings because their unique population size, geographic scale, and special conditions can result in atypical data patterns that may not be directly comparable with larger countries. This helps ensure that rankings are more meaningful and fair for all measured countries.
