Five basics stand between this country and zero
This profile has a direct five-part Money Gate audit. Any category below 4/4 keeps the whole country below zero.
9% weightHuman Time & Burden Return
-10.0
Whether productivity, infrastructure and institutions return usable lifetime to people and families.
TBFC target: Necessary contribution should not require people to sell most of their waking life merely to retain access to food, shelter, care and ordinary family life.
Access-gate research question: How much paid work or income-producing activity is required before an ordinary household can keep access to basic life, and what usable family time remains afterward?
Abundance Gap: +75.0
Category Method 0.0.1: 25% Capacity, 35% Reach, 25% Friction, 15% Return/Regeneration.
Verified evidence
Strong productive capacity does not remove the cash-work requirement for ordinary essentials; household time remains organized around income earning and bureaucracy.
Statistics Poland
8% weightHousing, Shelter & Housing Reach
-16.0
Whether adequate shelter physically exists and actually reaches people without excessive cost, exclusion or vacancy mismatch.
TBFC target: Adequate family shelter should remain reachable without lifetime dependence on rent, mortgage debt or ability to pay.
Access-gate research question: What share of ordinary shelter access depends on rent, mortgage debt, purchase price or other recurring payment, and what dependable non-market routes exist at national scale?

7% weightHealth & Care Reach
+34.3
Whether prevention, primary care, medicine, maternity care, dentistry and specialist capability reach people when needed.
TBFC target: Prevention, maternity, dentistry, medicine and necessary treatment should be reachable because care is needed, not because payment can be produced.

Statistics Poland
8% weightFamily Formation, Continuity & Child Stability
Fertility agenda · target 5.0
Family continuity is measured partly by whether children are actually multiplying. New and re-reviewed profiles use total fertility as 40% of Family Formation: 2.1 births per woman is the replacement floor and earns positive but limited credit; the authored target is 5.0.
Read A Civilization Built for Mothers and Fathers
-5.4
Conditions that let people form stable families, raise children, share parental time and continue family life without punishing material barriers.
TBFC target: People should be able to form, continue and multiply family life. Trott Bailey Family Civilization uses 5.0 children per woman as the fertility target; 2.1 is the replacement floor, not the aspiration, while housing, care, food and time should not be withheld behind financial thresholds.
Access-gate research question: How strongly do housing, childcare, health, food and work-income requirements delay or destabilize family formation and continuity, and is total fertility moving above replacement toward the 5.0-children-per-woman civilization target?
Abundance Gap: +40.0
Category Method 0.0.1: 25% Capacity, 35% Reach, 25% Friction, 15% Return/Regeneration. Family Formation: 60% lived environment + 40% fertility performance (-34.52).

5% weightLand Access & Spatial Freedom
-20.5
Whether land and settlement choice reach ordinary people rather than opportunity being functionally trapped inside expensive commercial centres.
TBFC target: Suitable productive land and settlement opportunity should not be functionally reserved for those able to outbid everyone else.
Access-gate research question: Can ordinary families gain secure use of suitable productive ground without first accumulating enough money to purchase, finance or outbid others?

Statistics Poland
6% weightLiving Ground, Biodiversity & Resilience
+51.5
Whether soil, forests, wetlands, habitat, pollinators, species and water-holding landscapes are strengthening rather than being consumed.
TBFC target: Regenerating soil, water, habitat and food-bearing landscapes should be maintained as shared life-supporting capacity rather than only where a transaction makes them profitable.
Access-gate research question: Are regenerative land, water and habitat functions maintained as life-supporting infrastructure even when no direct commercial return is available?
Abundance Gap: +15.0
Category Method 0.0.1: 25% Capacity, 35% Reach, 25% Friction, 15% Return/Regeneration.
Verified evidence

Statistics Poland
4% weightDurability, Repair & Material Return
+45.5
Whether useful materials, infrastructure and goods are maintained, repairable, recovered and cycled instead of repeatedly becoming waste.
TBFC target: Repair, maintenance and useful material circulation should protect capability instead of forcing repeated repurchase as the default route to continued use.
Access-gate research question: Do repair and maintenance remain practically accessible, or do pricing, proprietary restrictions and replacement incentives turn continued use into repeated purchasing?
Abundance Gap: +25.0
Category Method 0.0.1: 25% Capacity, 35% Reach, 25% Friction, 15% Return/Regeneration.
Verified evidence
Repair/reuse investment is growing, including public grants, but broad zero-money repair access is not established.
Statistics Poland
6% weightInternational Accessibility, Migration & Human Welcome
+38.8
How easily visitors, migrants, refugees and neighbours can enter, remain, regularize status and participate in ordinary civic and economic life.
TBFC target: A country should have a humane vision for visitors, migrants, refugees and neighbouring families: practical entry, legal identity, family continuity, protection from statelessness, a route into ordinary life and a real place to contribute and grow with the society.
Access-gate research question: Who can enter and stay, how wide is visa-free/eVisa/eTA reach, can newcomers regularize status and work, are refugees and children protected from statelessness, can families remain together, and does the country have a practical long-term vision for newcomers to join ordinary life and contribute?
Category Method 0.0.1: 25% Capacity, 35% Reach, 25% Friction, 15% Return/Regeneration. International Scoring 1.0.0; no +5 eVisa adjustment applied because >100-nationality breadth was not independently verified for this profile.
Verified evidence
Digital filing reduces migration bureaucracy and temporary protection provides a major welcome route, but ordinary residence remains fee/status gated.

6% weightExternal Footprint & Non-Extractive Global Conduct
+42.3
Documented effects a country, its public institutions or materially supported programs have beyond its borders: beneficial contribution, mutuality, external harm, accountability and repair.
TBFC target: A civilization should increase useful local capability beyond its borders through medicine, training, disaster help, technical cooperation, peace-building and other mutually useful contribution, while avoiding extraction, exported harm and displacement.
Access-gate research question: Do the country’s actions abroad increase health, skill, safety, resilience and locally retained capability, or do they export extraction, coercion, environmental harm, displacement, debt or other burdens?
Category Method 0.0.1: 25% Capacity, 35% Reach, 25% Friction, 15% Return/Regeneration. International Scoring 1.0.0: contribution, mutual benefit, low-harm/non-extractive conduct and accountability considered relative to capacity.
Verified evidence
Poland makes verified ODA and Ukraine-related humanitarian contributions, though scale relative to capacity is moderate and does not by itself prove non-extractive conduct.
OECD — Poland migration outlook 2025Trott Bailey Family Civilization Target
The end state: life beyond monetary gatekeeping
Trott Bailey Family Civilization treats money as an exchange tool rather than a prerequisite for access to life. The long-run abundance target is that food, water, shelter, care, education, mobility, land access and ordinary public life remain reachable even when a person cannot pay.
This target is an authored civilization standard. The diagnostic evidence score can now draw from all 16 weighted categories. The five-part Money Gate remains a separate domestic threshold asking whether food, housing/land, healthcare, transportation and water/energy are genuinely reachable without payment before any civilization can cross zero.
