Trott Bailey Family Abundance · Country Profile
Vanuatu 🇻🇺
Vanuatu currently ranks #185 of 243 on the World Wealthiest Country Abundance Scorecard, scoring -70.36. This country is money-gated (3.25/20: essential access still faces payment or service barriers), strongest in Land and weakest in Transport among 14 scored of 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: +2.0 · Money Gate: 3.25/20 · Headline: -70.4.
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 × 100.0% + 8.0 × 100.0% + 9.0 × 100.0% + 6.0 × 100.0% + 5.0 × 100.0% + 7.0 × 100.0% + 6.0 × 100.0% + 4.0 × 100.0% + 8.0 × 100.0% + 5.0 × 100.0% + 6.0 × 100.0% + 6.0 × 100.0% + 5.0 × 100.0% + 4.0 × 100.0% = 88.00% 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?
Customary subsistence agriculture and fisheries provide meaningful direct food access, but no universal free-food system was verified and urban/market food remains purchased.

Why 1.5 / 4?
Roughly 98% customary land tenure gives many indigenous communities a major non-market land foundation, although this is not an open claim route for every resident and safe housing still requires materials and construction.

Grey means points not yet earned toward fully money-free basic life—not a cash price or currency sum.
Why 3.3 / 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 1.50 + Healthcare 1.00 + Transportation 0.00 + Water / Energy 0.25 = 3.25 / 20
A country remains money-gated until the total reaches 20 / 20.
Why 54.0 / 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 - -8.02) ÷ 2 = 54.01 / 100
The weighted Friction rail comes from the published domestic category rails.
Why -41.9?
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 × 3.25 = -41.9

Family Formation, Continuity & Child Stability
What this category measures
Conditions that let people form stable families, raise children, multiply generations, share parental time and continue family life without punishing material barriers. New and re-reviewed profiles include total fertility as an explicit outcome signal.
TBFC targetPeople 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 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? Fertility methodNew 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.

Domestic Reach has eight 25-point intervals and nine anchors: −100, −75, −50, −25, 0, +25, +50, +75, +100. Existing readings retain their recorded scoring basis.
The transportation thresholds establish the 25-point reference scale, with category-specific evidence determining the Reach reading.
Exact point calculation
33.20 × (35.00 ÷ 100) = 11.62 weighted points
Original evidence +33.2; after proportional category-adjustment allocation +32.4; Money-gated reading -61.5 × 35% = -21.5 points. Original evidence and the adjustment stay separately identifiable.
Reach rate, when evidenced = people effectively served ÷ eligible people × 100. Check the same population, period and location.
Why this score
Vanuatu's 2024 TFR was 3.569 births per woman, well above replacement and strongly positive under the TBF fertility agenda. Customary land and extended-family systems help continuity, while disasters, labour migration, schooling costs and uneven health reach add real pressure.

Adjustment and Money Gate arithmetic
Original weighted evidence: +32.0. Category adjustments (research, Adoption, family and/or transfer): -0.8. Effective evidence: +31.2. Money Gate ceiling: -41.9. Four Money-gated beleshky contributions total: -61.9.
The adjustment is distributed within beleshky score limits. The original 64 evidence readings are preserved for research review.

Weighted rails: 9.80 + 11.62 + 5.30 + 5.28 = 32.00
Base: 31.20 · reviewed adjustment: -0.80 · Adoption: +0.00 · authored marriage-law deduction: −0.00 · verified transfer deduction: −0.00 = published +31.2 (clamped to −100..+100)
Contribution to national evidence: 31.20 × (8.00 × 100.00%) ÷ 88.00 = 2.84 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.
For Vanuatu, this category carries 8% of the scorecard. With 100% research coverage in this category, its effective researched weight is 8.00%. After normalization across Vanuatu’s researched categories, this category contributes +2.8 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: +31.2
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: +31.2 − 0 = +31.2 (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.

Original evidence -7.0; after proportional category-adjustment allocation -7.8; Money-gated reading -73.2 × 25% = -18.3 points. Original evidence and the adjustment stay separately identifiable.
Capacity rate, when evidenced = usable functioning capacity ÷ capacity needed × 100. A derived score requires separate documented judgement; do not assume the rate itself equals the score.
Why this score
For Vanuatu, resilient roads, bridges, schools and health facilities are increasingly built to withstand climate shocks. Recurrent cyclones and earthquakes still destroy structures and force costly replacement, so the return system is improving without yet outrunning damage.
Reach · 25-point ladder & linked Money Gate
This score follows the earlier continuous Reach scale. The original reading is retained without rounding or changing its historical position.
Domestic Reach has eight 25-point intervals and nine anchors: −100, −75, −50, −25, 0, +25, +50, +75, +100. Existing readings retain their recorded scoring basis.
The transportation thresholds establish the 25-point reference scale, with category-specific evidence determining the Reach reading.

The Money Gate is already included in the four readings. No second ceiling is deducted from this category. Displayed contributions are reconciled to two decimal places.
Adjustment and Money Gate arithmetic
Original weighted evidence: -14.2. Category adjustments (research, Adoption, family and/or transfer): -0.8. Effective evidence: -15.0. Money Gate ceiling: -41.9. Four Money-gated beleshky contributions total: -75.3.
The adjustment is distributed within beleshky score limits. The original 64 evidence readings are preserved for research review.

Weighted rails: -1.75 + -4.55 + -6.25 + -1.65 = -14.20
Base: -15.00 · reviewed adjustment: -0.80 · Adoption: +0.00 · authored marriage-law deduction: −0.00 · verified transfer deduction: −0.00 = published -15.0 (clamped to −100..+100)
Contribution to national evidence: -15.00 × (4.00 × 100.00%) ÷ 88.00 = -0.68 points
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.
Four-rail live-review judgment under Category Method 0.0.1; strong capacity cannot erase weak reach or monetary friction.
For Vanuatu, this category carries 4% of the scorecard. With 100% research coverage in this category, its effective researched weight is 4.00%. After normalization across Vanuatu’s researched categories, this category contributes -0.7 points to the national Evidence-before-Gate reading.
Abundance Gap: +6.0

Open to review verified country findings and original sources
Pending
The country evidence is available, but no reviewed four-rail category score has been assigned. Pending does not mean zero.
Country findings and sources
Vanuatu is the largest sending country under Australia's PALM scheme and also participates heavily in New Zealand's RSE programme. These routes create significant work mobility and remittance access, but they are employer-linked and temporary rather than unconditional human welcome.

No independently supported deduction or trade-flow screening is available for this country. This audit has not yet been researched.
Country findings and sources
For Vanuatu, the country's physical external footprint is limited, but its labour-export model and citizenship-by-investment programme materially shape relations with larger economies. Governance reforms are under way; this category remains evidence-only and receives no score row.
2026-10-06 IMF — Vanuatu 2025 Article IVTrott 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.
