Who holds power. When it expires. What breaks if it changes hands.
Every national election on Earth — plus the international institutions that outrank most of them — scored 1–5 for global stakes and tagged by the systems they actually move. Filter by consequence, not by continent.
The next one that matters is already on the clock.
One email every Monday: what moved on the board last week, what votes are coming, and what actually changes if they go the other way. Free, and you can leave whenever you want.
The Ones That Actually Matter
Every upcoming election scoring 4 or 5, with the incumbent who has to defend the seat. If you only follow a handful of votes this cycle, follow these.

Geopolitical Risk for Investors is our framework for reading political events as exposure — which assets, which supply chains, which timelines. 180 pages, no jargon, no forecasting theatre.
Some of the most consequential jobs on Earth are never voted on by a public. They are appointed in back rooms, rotated by calendar, or handed over by consensus among a handful of states. These are the mandates — who holds them, when they expire, and who actually decides.

Every card, badge, and chip in this app carries compressed information. Here is what each one means.
📊 Governance Indices
CPI72
Corruption Perceptions Index — Transparency International's annual score (0–100). Measures how corrupt a country's public sector is perceived to be. Higher = cleaner. Green ≥ 50, yellow 30–49, red < 30.
FH45
Freedom House — Freedom in the World score (0–100). Measures political rights and civil liberties. Higher = freer. Green ≥ 60, yellow 30–59, red < 30.
PFI22
Press Freedom Index — Reporters Without Borders' score (0–100). Measures the environment for journalism in each country. Higher = freer press. Green ≥ 60, yellow 40–59, red < 40.
These indices drive investment risk. Learn how to read them as exposure.
Low risk of disruption. Strong institutions, free press, low corruption. Power is expected to transfer peacefully.
⚡ Contested
Moderate risk. Some institutional weakness, polarisation, or historical disputes over results. Watch closely.
⚡ Crisis Risk
High risk of crisis. Weak institutions, high corruption, restricted press, authoritarian incumbents. Results may be contested, delayed, or suppressed.

The PTR score combines five factors: election stakes (1–5), Freedom House deficit, Press Freedom deficit, corruption level, and whether the incumbent is term-limited or defending. It is not a prediction — it flags where the plumbing is weakest.
Power transfers are where portfolios break. Our framework maps political risk to asset exposure.
Red boxes in the Profiles tab list only court convictions — cases where a court has handed down a formal guilty verdict. Allegations, investigations, impeachments without conviction, and acquittals are not included. If a conviction was later overturned on appeal, that is noted.
Every Monday we cover the leaders behind the votes — who they are, what they did, and why it matters for the board.
Every election and institution here gets a score from 1 to 5. It is not a measure of how democratic, how contested, or how important the vote is to the people casting it — every election matters to them. It measures one thing only: how much the rest of the world’s board changes depending on the result.
Reading the Incumbent Labels
Sources
Election dates compiled from national electoral calendars and cross-checked against the IFES ElectionGuide database and national electoral commissions.
Officeholders verified against national government sources and international press reporting. Dates marked tentative are set by law but not yet formally proclaimed, and slip routinely.
Institutional mandates taken from each body’s own published terms. Rotating chairs follow the published rotation, which is occasionally traded between members.
Stakes scores and impact axes are Unmuzzled Media’s own editorial assessment. They are arguments, not data. Disagree with them — that is the point.
What This Is Not
This is not a live results tracker and does not forecast winners. There are good tools for both. This answers the question none of them do: why should someone outside that country care?
