It's called the Global Power Barometer. The GPB how successful certain global powers are at advancing their agendas on any given day. The 'powers' include the usual suspects - the US, Russia, China - and three newsmakers - Israel, the Islamists and Iran.
The GPB also tracks major issues of the day. These include the rise of the Anti-American Left in Latin America; the power vacuum created by the Iraq quagmire and the drift in American foreign policy; the new arms race and nuclear proliferation; coming energy wars; China's ascendancy; the next, major Middle East war; and progress toward a new Islamic Caliphate.
It's admittedly grim entertainment but it's fascinating:
