National Blueprint · One of 195
A Polynesian kingdom of 104,000 where citizens abroad send home nearly two fifths of the economy, visitors earn almost half of export income, and fewer than a third have safely managed drinking water.
Perfect Nations values what Tonga owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

03Solutions · The seven stars · Perfect Capita
Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards, set with Tonga in its own prices.
How Perfect Capita worksTap a star for its figure and source.
The price of Perfect Tonga
To be set with Tonga, from its own figures and in its own prices: Perfect Capita times the people of Tonga, each year.
Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Tonga. 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.
