National Blueprint · One of 195

Sudan

A nation of 51.7 million in its fourth year of war, where nearly 19.5 million people face acute hunger and the $2.9 billion humanitarian plan for 2026 is less than half funded.

Perfect Nations values what Sudan owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

What we do for Sudan

Assets. Capital. Solutions.

Perfect Nations is a new-age sovereign advisory firm, and its clients are nations.

  2. 02CapitalThe laurels2 instruments and investments on record, every one sourced.
  3. 03SolutionsThe seven starsSeven basic standards of living, star by star. Shelter is furthest from reach today.

The whole logo: a Perfect Nation, where every citizen has all seven basic standards of living, led by good governance.

01Assets · The cup · Sovereign Assets

Five assets no balance sheet counts.

Each is owned today, earns today, and can carry Sudan toward seven basic standards of living for every citizen.

  • 60.3%Of the land in agriculture, 2024

    The Farmland

    Six tenths of the land in agriculture along the Niles: the breadbasket the nation can be again.

  • 61.1%Of electricity from renewable sources, 2021

    The Clean Grid

    The Nile dams gave six tenths of the power before the war.

  • 12.8%Of GDP from natural resource rents, 2021

    The Ground

    What lies under the land already earns; the task is to turn the rent into lasting assets.

  • 1.87M km²Land area, 2024

    The Land

    Territory to farm, mine, power and protect.

  • 51.7mCitizens, 2025

    The People

    40.2% are under fifteen: the workforce and the market of the next generation.

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Sudan. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. 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; where electricity per person is not published, 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.
