Scores are apportioned for every country, based on twelve key political, social and economic indicators and over 100 sub-indicators. A low score indicates that a state is less fragile and vice versa. For example, Australia, with a score of 19.6 out of 120, is a less fragile state than South Africa, which has a score of 69.6 out of 120.
