What is driving Paraguay’s tension score

last 30 days
  • 22 headlines in 30 days — 0.11% of everything the engine read, in line with the previous 30 days (1).
  • 5% of those were violent (attacks, strikes, casualties) and 64% scored as high-tension stories.
  • Conflicts on the roster: none. Paraguay is not a party to any conflict our engine tracks right now.
  • Region: Americas reads 51 today; it carries 15% of this score.

Read it like this. Attention (how much the world is talking about Paraguay) 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.

Record for Paraguay began on 18 September 2026. Nothing is revised after the fact.

How the Paraguay 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 Americas 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.
