Historical polity registry
Countries, empires, states, and regimes in the source catalog
Registry coverage is broader than the rating model. Unrated entries remain visible here but are excluded from Elo rankings and charts. Source-candidate intervals are claims awaiting identity review, not settled historical boundaries.

How to read this
A rating is an evidence-conditioned estimate, not a timeless verdict.
New historical polities enter with a fresh prior. Tactical results, strategic results, conflict scale, stakes, and confidence affect updates separately; missing evidence widens uncertainty.
