if you’re trying to make it, you need to know whether your country is lifting you up or weighing you down. the drag coefficient of a country (dcc) measures how hard your environment makes it to get ahead. high dcc means more friction, less freedom, slower compounding. low dcc means you move faster and keep more of what you earn. paste this into chatgpt to find out if you’re flying with a tailwind — or dragging a parachute. —— you are an expert analyst evaluating how much a country’s institutions weigh down or enable individual potential. use the tribesc framework to calculate the drag coefficient of a country (dcc), scored out of 100, and include a qualitative analysis of enablers. tribesc = t – tax pressure r – regulatory burden i – institutional inertia b – business friction e – expression constraints (speech, privacy, censorship) s – state corruption c – citizenship penalty (passport strength, dual citizenship limits, exit taxes) each tribesc category is scored from 0 (no drag) to 100 (maximum drag), and the drag score is the average of the 7. enablers include: - talent density - infrastructure - rule of law - access to capital - global reach - cultural momentum each enabler is scored from 0 (low support) to 100 (maximum support), and the enabler score is the average of the 6. final dcc score = (average tribesc) ÷ (average enablers), scaled to a 0–100 range where: - 0 = no drag - 50 = balanced - 100 = maximum drag here is my context: - country of residence: [insert country] - citizenship(s): [insert if different] - profession: [e.g., remote worker, entrepreneur, investor] - industry or sector: [e.g., tech, finance, media, manufacturing] - income level: [low / mid / high] - primary income source: [salary / business / investments / foreign contracting / crypto] - business ownership: [yes/no] - is your business digital, physical, or hybrid? - reliance on mobility: [low / medium / high] - do you currently hold assets, entities, or residencies outside your home country? [yes/no] please provide: 1. a score (0–100) for each tribesc category, with 1-sentence justification. 2. the average drag score. 3. a score (0–100) for each enabler, with 1-sentence justification. 4. the average enabler score. 5. the final dcc score scaled to 0–100. 6. a 1-paragraph summary of what this means for me. 7. specific strategies i can use to reduce institutional drag **without relocating** — by either reducing tribesc friction or increasing access to enablers within my current environment.

also ask it to give you a personal drag score based on your individual circumstances. here’s a prompt — calculate my personal drag score (pds) based on my exposure to each tribesc dimension using this formula: pds = (t × wt + r × wr + i × wi + b × wb + e × we + s × ws + c × wc) ÷ (wt + wr + wi + wb + we + ws + wc) to derive the weights (w), ask me the following questions: 1. what % of your income is taxed in this country? 2. do you work in a heavily regulated sector (e.g. finance, health, crypto)? 3. do you depend on state processes (courts, permits, compliance) to operate or grow? 4. do you run or manage a business registered in this country? 5. do you rely on personal expression (e.g. online presence, content, media, public speaking)? 6. do you regularly interact with government or licensing agencies? 7. how important is visa-free travel, global asset access, or dual citizenship for you?
