Trott Bailey Family Abundance · Country Profile
Democratic People's Republic of Korea 🇰🇵
Democratic People's Republic of Korea currently ranks #235 of 243 on the World Wealthiest Country Abundance Scorecard, scoring -88.20. This territory is money-gated (3.00/20: essential access still faces payment or service barriers), strongest in Education and weakest in Welcome across 16 evidence categories.
Ranked by the Trott Bailey Family — the world’s wealthiest family in Abundance. Wealth means access to life and the ability to live it, not GDP or money.
Country profile & diagnostic reading
Tracking baselineEvidence through 5 Oct 2026How the headline score is calculated
Every category retains four original evidence beleshkies. The existing category adjustments are allocated among those beleshkies, within their scoring limits. Each adjusted beleshky receives the national Money Gate conversion, and four weighted gated contributions form its category result. The category results then form the national headline score, with historic two-decimal evidence rounding retained. Friction is not deducted twice.
Current evidence: -58.9 · Money Gate: 3.00/20 · Headline: -88.2.
The fully detailed gate formula is explained in the Money Gate method; no international score can independently clear it.
TBF Rank TBF Rank Rank compares only published profiles. It follows the TBF Abundance Score, not GDP or money size, and can move when a country score changes or when another country enters the published table.

Research Coverage Research coverage Coverage reports the weighted share of categories with documented scoring and supporting source records. 100% means all category scoring slots have been assessed; it does not guarantee that every claim has been independently measured or that every family has no-payment access. Read the source and evidence limitations for each point. Explore Trott Bailey Kingdom Systems
Coverage calculation
Sum of each published category weight × its documented scoring coverage ÷ 100. The percentage measures completed scoring slots, not independent verification of every claim. For the current country:
9.0 × 92.0% + 8.0 × 92.0% + 9.0 × 92.0% + 6.0 × 92.0% + 5.0 × 92.0% + 7.0 × 92.0% + 6.0 × 92.0% + 4.0 × 92.0% + 8.0 × 92.0% + 5.0 × 92.0% + 6.0 × 92.0% + 6.0 × 92.0% + 5.0 × 92.0% + 4.0 × 92.0% + 6.0 × 92.0% + 6.0 × 92.0% = 92.00% weighted coverage
Completion coverage is not evidence certainty. Every evaluated rail may use directly observed evidence, relevant proxies, or transparently labeled extrapolation. A score is not a measured population percentage merely because its source is verified.
Unreviewed international categories do not receive fabricated coverage or zero scores.

Money Gate · Overall Gate 0.7.0
Five basics stand between this country and zero The zero-line rule All five basics must reach 4/4 before a country can cross zero. Open any gate reading to see exactly why its points were assigned and review the source record. Reach-to-Money-Gate Clearance 2.0 These five gates measure effective no-payment access, not installed capacity alone. Under new source-backed reviews, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 points track verified free access to 0%, some but less than 30%, 30%+, 50%+, 75%+ and 100% of the population respectively. The higher levels require reliable real use; 4/4 requires universally accessible, reliable service without ordinary charges or exclusions. Missing population figures remain pending. Older gate points remain archived until re-audited.
Food Food · 4 points Full credit means nutritious food is ordinary civilization provision without a checkout or poverty test. School meals and other narrow institutional routes can earn limited partial credit without being mistaken for free food abundance. Read A Civilization Laid Out in Orchards
Why 0.5 / 4?
Evidence supports 0.5/4: genuine public/community or productive-food capacity is credited, but ordinary nutritious food is not nationally reachable without payment.

Grey means points not yet earned toward fully money-free basic life—not a cash price or currency sum.
Why 3.0 / 20?
The Money Gate total is the sum of the five direct 0–4 readings. Every basic need remains visible separately so one strong area cannot hide another weak one.
Actual calculation
Food 0.50 + Housing / Land 1.00 + Healthcare 1.00 + Transportation 0.00 + Water / Energy 0.50 = 3.00 / 20
A country remains money-gated until the total reaches 20 / 20.
Why 89.9 / 100?
Friction is visible as its own 0–100 contextual reading from domestic category rails. Its effect is already in the evidence score and is not applied to the ceiling again.
Actual calculation
(100 - -79.83) ÷ 2 = 89.92 / 100
The weighted Friction rail comes from the published domestic category rails.
Why -42.5?
Each Money Gate point raises the negative ceiling by 2.5 points: 0/20 → −50, 7/20 → −32.5, 10/20 → −25, 19.5/20 → −1.25. At 20/20 the gate is removed, so the evidence score becomes the headline directly.
Actual calculation
-50 + 2.5 × 3.00 = -42.5

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 questionHow 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?

Weighted rails: -7.50 + -19.25 + -20.00 + -6.75 = -53.50
Base: -29.62 · reviewed adjustment: 23.88 · Adoption: +0.00 · authored marriage-law deduction: −0.00 · verified transfer deduction: −0.00 = published -29.6 (clamped to −100..+100)
Contribution to national evidence: -29.62 × (8.00 × 92.00%) ÷ 92.00 = -2.37 points
New and re-reviewed Family Formation scores blend 60% lived family conditions with 40% fertility performance. Five children per woman is the 100/100 fertility target. The 2.1 replacement floor earns +25/100 fertility performance; below replacement declines proportionally, while rates above 2.1 rise progressively toward +100 at 5.0. Family Formation = 60% lived family environment (-53.50) + 40% fertility performance (6.19) from TFR 1.784 (2024; observed/estimated WDI); final -29.62.
For Democratic People's Republic of Korea, this category carries 8% of the scorecard. With 92% research coverage in this category, its effective researched weight is 7.36%. After normalization across Democratic People's Republic of Korea’s researched categories, this category contributes -2.4 points to the national Evidence-before-Gate reading.
Family Formation — two-part calculation and marriage-law criterion
First half — the established family and fertility assessment
The original family score remains available. It combines 60% conditions for family life with 40% observed total fertility performance. Its source research is preserved.
Pre-policy score: -29.6
Second half — binary marriage-law policy criterion
This is a Trott Bailey Family policy preference, not an estimate of births lost. Recognition: −50 points. Reviewed non-recognition: 0 deduction. An unreviewed status stays pending and causes no deduction.
Country legal status: Pending verification
Deduction calculation: Pending; 0 points deducted provisionally, not a verified zero
Final category calculation: -29.6 − 0 = -29.6 (clamped to −100..+100, before any independent material-transfer deductions)
Legal status not independently reviewed for this jurisdiction; no deduction is assigned. Pending is not a confirmed absence of recognition.
Fertility and family policy: research and source notes
Trott Bailey Family target and observed fertility The 5.0-children-per-woman target is an authored civilization benchmark; approximately 2.1 children per woman is the usual long-run replacement benchmark. The existing Family Formation method blends 60% lived family conditions and 40% measured fertility performance.
How policy is evaluated Assess housing, care, parental time, material security, access to family formation, and actual demographic outcomes. A government statement or law is not proof that national births increased or declined. Establish its effects with dated comparative evidence before assigning points.
How the two kinds of evidence differ The binary legal-status deduction is an authored TBF policy assessment, not a statistic of observed births. Carroll and Schumm argue that marriage-law changes can weaken procreative norms, while other empirical studies find no negative effect on different-sex family formation. This disagreement is disclosed rather than presented as scientific consensus.

Cross-border waste and low-utility goods deductions
A country sending harmful material abroad and a country allowing it onto its land are assessed separately. Beneficial second-hand reuse is not automatically dumping. A pending audit is not a zero-harm finding.
No independently supported deduction or trade-flow screening is available for this country. This audit has not yet been researched.
For Democratic People's Republic of Korea, this category carries 4% of the scorecard. With 92% research coverage in this category, its effective researched weight is 3.68%. After normalization across Democratic People's Republic of Korea’s researched categories, this category contributes -1.5 points to the national Evidence-before-Gate reading.
Abundance Gap: +35.0

International Accessibility, Migration & Human Welcome
What this category measures
How easily visitors, migrants, refugees and neighbouring families can enter, remain, regularize status, prevent statelessness, build family continuity and participate in ordinary civic and economic life.
TBFC targetA 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 questionWho 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? International scoring method
Welcome research checks practical entry breadth, visa-free/eVisa/eTA reach, lawful passport or citizenship pathways available to foreigners, birthright citizenship and statelessness prevention, parent/child family-status continuity, refugee recognition, migrant regularization, work/school/health access, family reunion and a credible national vision for newcomers to settle, contribute and grow with society.
A verified eVisa program open to more than 100 nationalities is recorded as a positive factual Welcome finding (the historical +5 scoring rule is retired). Researchers must verify the eligible-nationality breadth, not merely the existence of an online visa form. A lawful international citizenship/passport route available to qualifying foreigners is recorded as a Welcome access finding. The score must distinguish a usable transparent route from an expensive, narrow or highly discretionary program. Broad birthright citizenship, conditional territorial citizenship and statelessness safeguards are recorded with their precise legal eligibility and practical results. A system that leaves children without effective nationality, identity or durable status is a serious negative. A practical route that lets parents secure residence or citizenship through a child born in the country is documented for family-continuity review; long limbo, family separation or rules that strand the child between statuses reduce the score.
Refugee and migrant welcome is judged by lived access as well as admission: recognition, non-refoulement, legal documents, work, education, health care, family continuity, regularization, permanence and citizenship pathways all matter. Forced removal, refoulement, arbitrary detention, family separation and especially deporting or transferring people to unrelated third countries without a genuine durable-protection connection are negative Welcome evidence. Welcome is stronger when the country has a coherent plan for land, housing, work, contribution, family life and civic integration so newcomers are absorbed as people who can help the country grow, rather than warehoused indefinitely in camps or temporary limbo.

External Footprint & Non-Extractive Global Conduct
What this category measures
Documented effects of a country beyond its borders: beneficial contribution, mutuality, external harm, extraction, repair, and verified deductions for exported garbage, waste or disguised low-utility dumping.
TBFC targetA 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 questionDo 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? International scoring method
Legacy method: External Footprint documents independently verified beneficial action beyond the border, including medical missions, public-health help, scholarships, training, technical cooperation, disaster relief, humanitarian logistics, peacekeeping and other programs that leave useful capability with the receiving society. It also documents extractive conduct, exported environmental or human harm, coercive external security practices, abusive displacement outsourcing and whether documented harm is repaired, with a separately scored 6% category once four evidence-backed rails have been reviewed. Verified waste exports and disguised low-utility dumping are penalized through the transboundary harm ledger, as are irresponsible import acceptance practices through Domestic Durability & Material Return.
International contribution is investigated relative to capacity and quality, not raw size alone; documented outward activity is distinguished from independent benefit and local mutuality.
Dumping and harmful material transfers
Waste or disguised low-utility exports reduce External Footprint. Real reuse must be distinguished from disguised disposal. The sender retains responsibility for harms shifted abroad. Method v3: harmful imported garbage and low-utility dumping belong in External Footprint, where inbound transfer responsibility is 15% of the category. Historical method v2 import deductions remain archived under Domestic Durability until that country receives a sourced v3 score. Do not double-count.

2026-10-06 UN Security Council — DPRK humanitarian exemptionsTrott 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 use all sixteen weighted categories: fourteen domestic plus International Welcome (6%) and External Footprint (6%), when each international category has four verified rail scores and dated source evidence. Unreviewed international rails remain pending, not zero. 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.
