Questions
- How many countries are at war right now?
- 3, as of the timestamp above: Russia, Lebanon, Ukraine. This counts countries with combat on their own territory confirmed by two independent models within the last 24 hours, not declared wars.
- What counts as “active combat” here?
- A country is marked as having active combat only when at least two independent AI models, reading at least two separate news stories, both report military action on its territory within the last 24 hours. A single report — or a single model — is not enough, which keeps one-off claims and recycled footage off the map.
- Why is a country I consider at war not on this list?
- The list reflects the last 24 hours of reporting, not the formal state of a conflict. A frozen front line with no reported action in a day drops off this page, while its country page keeps the full history and its score stays depressed.
