03Highs and lows
The two ends of its own record: every statistic on which Morocco sits within ten places of the best or worst in the world, plus its strongest and weakest readings overall. Each is turned into a percentile — its place among every country measured — which is what lets a hunger score and a press-freedom rank be compared at all.
In the top third of all countries measured. 1 is within ten places of the best in the world, in a field of at least 50 countries — marked with that place.

A band is a place among the countries each publisher scores, so Morocco can move because other countries moved. See the Country Index for the full method.
