I stumbled upon this chart showing the relative reputations by countries. Reputation Lab visualized a survey that ranks the world’s 60 leading economies by their reputations. Countries with stronger reputations may attract more foreign investment, tourists, or respect in international institutions.

You can go to my source link below to access the details.

Source: Ranked: Countries With the Best Reputations in 2025

My observations:

United States – The US dropped from position 30 to 48 in just one year. That must be the largest drop of any country in history. The reputation of the US in the world is now below that of Kuwait, Algeria, India and Turkey. It’s just a couple of notches above Colombia.

Russia – Solid in place 60, right there below Iran, Iraq and China.

Switzerland – Solid in place 1.

Canada – Now in place 2.

And with all this, and our collective common sense, our leaders have the gall to tell us that we are finally respected in the world. My question is: How deep can we fall? Are we going to the territory of Russia and China?

Are we great yet?
