NATO defense spending 2023 (SIPRI): Members meeting 2% threshold: US (3.5%), Poland (3.9%), Greece (2.5%), Estonia (2.7%), Latvia (2.3%), Lithuania (2.5%).

Frequently Asked Questions
How current is the geopolitical events data?
The Geopolitics tool uses GDELT — the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone — which is updated every 15 minutes from 100+ languages and 65+ years of global news. For recent events (past 24–48 hours) it provides near-real-time event detection. Historical event tracking is available for pattern analysis.
Can the Translate tool handle diplomatic register and formal language?
Yes. The Translate tool supports formality level settings. For diplomatic documents, set formality to "formal" and specify the document type. It handles standard diplomatic formulas like note verbale conventions, treaty language, and formal correspondence. Coverage spans 30+ languages including Arabic, Mandarin, French, Spanish, Russian, and Japanese.
How reliable is the Country Data for sensitive diplomatic use?
Country Data aggregates from World Bank, CIA World Factbook, and UN sources — the same primary sources used in diplomatic practice. It is best used for factual profiles (GDP, population, government structure) and as a starting point for deeper research. For sensitive intelligence assessments, supplement with classified sources.
Can the Defense Spending tool track arms transfers between specific countries?
Yes. Defense Spending includes SIPRI Arms Transfer Database data covering weapons deliveries between countries. You can look up what systems country A has received from country B, historical transfer values, and categories of weapons transferred. Useful for understanding regional military balance questions.
Can these tools support multilateral negotiation preparation?
Yes. Deep Research can compile negotiating histories, previous treaty texts, and positions of multiple parties on a specific issue. World Economy provides the economic data underlying trade negotiation positions. Country Data gives quick profiles of all parties. Together they compress the briefing research cycle significantly.
