What is driving Germany’s tension score
last 30 days- 256 headlines in 30 days — 1.33% of everything the engine read, in line with the previous 30 days (200).
- 25% of those were violent (attacks, strikes, casualties) and 23% scored as high-tension stories.

Read it like this. Attention (how much the world is talking about Germany) is the biggest input at 30%. Violence and high-tension share tell you what kind of talk it is. A country can be loud and calm — an election, a summit — or quiet and dangerous. The mix is the point.

How the Germany score is built
Five inputs, fixed weights. Attention 30% (share of world coverage), violence 25% and high-tension share 15% (what kind of coverage), roster conflicts 15%, and the Europe region score 15%. A momentum nudge (+6 / −4) rewards a country whose coverage is accelerating or fading.
Same physics as the world score. The number rises 85% of the way to its new level at once and falls no faster than 3 points a day — fear arrives fast and leaves slowly.
No third-party index inside. Every count comes from the 41 public news feeds our engine reads itself; the full method is on the methodology page. Data is free under CC BY 4.0 via the API.

Germany and world tension: the long view
evergreen · World Tension Meter teamEurope’s economy. Germany is the continent’s largest economy and its industrial core. Its gas supply, factory orders and export data are the pulse of Europe, and its rearmament decides how NATO looks in a decade.
Energy is its weak point. The cut-off of Russian gas showed how fast German industry feels an energy shock. That is why our energy index and German headlines move together.
