The five final values

Measure	Russia	Reference point
Participation to Burden ratio, paid work (with home work)	0.47 (0.69)	1 = participation equals burden
Ratio of the richest 1% (its parts counted in hours of work)	−0.87	0 = on the brink; above 0 = inside the green boundary
Overall worth level, hours of NEP work a week per capable adult (set point)	30.9 (31.8)	Above the set point (in brackets) = spare participation
Respect value	0.65	1 = world-average preference gradient where the hours given equal the hours needed
VIL depth	96%	0% = no need rests on a resource that does not satisfy the green check

The Current Status of the Society

Size of the society

World Bank region	Europe and Central Asia
People in 2025 (millions)	143.5
Share of the world	1.7%

Part 1: Participation to Burden ratio of a Society

The ratio and its parts

NEP share of paid hours	0.39–0.50
All-hours ratio R (2020)	1.06
Ratio, paid work (narrow–broad)	0.47 (0.41–0.53)
Ratio, with unpaid home work	0.69 (0.66–0.73)

Part 2: Participation to Burden ratio of an Individual, Measured for Groups

The richest 1% of adults, in hours of work a year

Final value	−0.87
Range from the tests	−0.91 to −0.73
Own work (hours)	2,071
Others' work drawn (hours)	26,969
Drawn beyond own work (hours)	24,899

All four groups, in hours of work

Bottom 50%	22.57
Middle 40%	2.35
Next 9%	0.16
Richest 1%	−0.87

Other sides of the same picture

Richest 1%: carbon, times the fair share (2019)	91
Wealth held offshore, % of the society's yearly output (2023)	15.7
Tax collected, % of net domestic product (2021)	31

"Inside" means the group's average draw lies at or below the natural burden, so it has no Artificial Burden and is fully inside the green boundary. Russia's poorest half draws only 67 hours a year above the natural burden, so its own work covers this small Artificial Burden many times over, hence the large value. The next 9% sits near zero and moves with the way the count is made (between −0.48 and +2.32 in the tests), so it gives no firm reading. The poorest half and the middle 40% include students, the old and those without work, so their values are indicative only.

Part 3: Overall Worth Level of a Society

Food grown and sent out

Food grown ÷ need	2.11
Sent out, share of need	0.66
Share that feeds people	0.59
NEP work given (+) or drawn (−), net, hours a week per capable adult	−0.7
Food counted	1.00

Overall worth level

Worth level (hours of NEP work a week per capable adult)	30.9
Set point (hours needed a week per capable adult)	31.8
Capable adults below the set point	55%

Part 4: Overall Respect Level of a Society

The three routes

Caring acts	0.91
Teaching unselfishness	0.60
Strategies	0.89
Q	0.79

The two halves of the preference gradient

Given directly, % of own income	0.3
S	0.54
Q	0.79
PR	0.67

Respect value

Preference gradient	0.67
Worth level (share of the set point)	0.97
Respect value	0.65
All individuals	0.77

· Russia came last in 76% of the runs and in the last three places in 98%; the United States and Brazil were each in the last three in 70%.

Part 5: Efficiency Level of the Natural Resources, and the Vil

How much of each need rests on resources failing the green check

Food: factory nitrogen and wild fish	46%
Food: farm work by machines	99%
Food, both together	99%
Cooking and heating	100%
Electricity	83%
Transport	100%

VIL depth, and what if those resources vanished

VIL depth (range)	96% (95–96%)
Production adequacy now → if they vanished (with pumping)	0.98 → 0.77 (0.64)
Set point, hours needed a week per capable adult: now → if they vanished (food and electricity cut + farm machine work by hand = together, range) (with pumping)	31.8 → 40.7 + 104.7 = 145.4 (121.5–170.8) (153.7)
Worth level, hours given a week	30.9

Part 6: The Seven Societies Side by Side

The ratio beside the needs reaching the people

Ratio, paid work (Part 1)	0.47
Share of the basic needs reaching the people (Part 3)	0.94
