National Blueprint · One of 195
A nation of 39 million that has cut its public debt from 69% to 50.5% of GDP in four years and won back the bond market, while three in four citizens cannot always count on enough good food.
Perfect Nations values what Angola owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards, set with Angola in its own prices.
How Perfect Capita worksTap a star for its figure and source.
The price of Perfect Angola
To be set with Angola, from its own figures and in its own prices: Perfect Capita times the people of Angola, each year.
Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Angola. The Gap applies FAO’s 2024 food insecurity figure to a population of about 39 million. The strict measures
Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.
Solution No. 01
Oil revenue stands behind the loans that turn the Lobito railway into a corridor of farms, mills and markets.
