Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Russia. 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 (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

Dear Russia,

Your land holds forest across half its area, oil, gas and minerals, and fresh water on a continental scale.

Food, power, schooling and incomes reach almost every home. Yet by the strict international measure, 41.8% of you lack safely managed sanitation, and almost a quarter lack safely managed drinking water. Let the wealth of the land bring safe water and sanitation to every home.

“Let the wealth of the land bring safe water to every home.”
