innovative financing for development (FfD)** and **super intelligence (SI)**.

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with San Marino. Figures marked dated 
rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. [The strict measures](https://perfectnations.com/perfect-capita/#pq-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.

      has a safe home.
