Overview

Out of 72 countries, Kuwait sits at #39 — #39 Most Cooked. Three departments are doing the heavy lifting here: environmental and industrial policy (air pollution beats 96% of the field, just not in a good way), economic policy (income inequality, 75th percentile), and political institutions bringing up the rear. Different agencies, same energy.

Overall score: 25/100 — 2 points below the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: billionaires hoarded (3 billionaires) — better than 72% of countries tracked. The story here isn't the country — it's the environmental and industrial policy stack behind these numbers.
