The full ranking of nations.

Every nation the Atlas tracks, ordered by Country Index — a composite of the quality of a country's best players, the reach of its diaspora and its depth. Movement is the change in rank since the last snapshot; the delta beside the index is the change in the score itself. How the number is built is set out in the methodology.
