Annual country fragility score and rank — country-risk context to pair with event/news data, so a spike of unrest or instability news for a country can be read against its standing fragility level.

Tools

• fsi_country_score(country) — the Index score, rank and total country count for one country (e.g. “which countries have the worst state-fragility risk right now, and where does X stand”).
• fsi_ranking(limit, direction) — the N most fragile or N most stable countries, ranked, in one call.

Auth

Keyless.

Data sources

• The Fund for Peace, Fragile States Index — an annual composite score (0 most stable, 120 most fragile) built from twelve cohesion, economic, political and social indicators, covering nearly 180 countries and territories.

Licence

The Fund for Peace licenses the Index under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License and asks anyone wanting to republish it for commercial purposes to contact them directly. Bruce ruled 2026-10-17 to ship this pack anyway — zero-rated (0 credits on every tier, never counted toward volume pricing) and carrying the publisher’s attribution in every response’s source field — the same shape as the symmap (#1385) and openvc-share-too case rulings. See CLAUDE.md’s licence section for the ruling text.

Data freshness

Published only as an annual bulk file (no live query API), so this pack reads from a periodically-refreshed copy rather than a per-request live call. Every response carries data_as_of (when this pack’s copy was last refreshed) and year (the edition’s own data year) — check both before citing a figure as current; the publisher’s annual cycle means a given edition can be the “latest” for most of a year.

Common pitfalls

• Country names are the publisher’s own spelling (e.g. “Congo Democratic Republic”, “Congo Republic”, “Cote d’Ivoire”, “United States”) — a handful of common aliases (USA, UK, DRC, Ivory Coast…) are accepted, but a bare “Congo” is deliberately NOT resolved to either Congo, since guessing between the two would be a wrong answer rather than a convenience; pass the full name the tool’s error message lists.
• Lower score = more stable; lower rank number = MORE fragile (rank 1 is the most fragile country, not the least).

Tools

• fsi_country_score — Fragile States Index score and rank for ONE country — a country-fragility risk measure (12 cohesion/economic/political/social indicators rolled into one 0-120 score; higher = more fragile). Published
• fsi_ranking — Rank countries by Fragile States Index score — the N most fragile or N most stable countries in one call, with rank and score. PREFER for “most fragile countries”, “most stable/least fragile countries
