I suspect when you possess enough Nukes to kill most every living thing on the planet and the rankings were based on firepower, well...

I kept reading “PwrIndx” as “Pwnd!”

Too many years of foruming.

Also, would be interesting to read rankings by conventional military strength.

I forget when exactly, but there was a time when there were 5 or 6 aircraft carriers all in town here at the same time.

That probably would have put Virginia somewhere in the middle of that list.
