Resources
This section counts things such as lumber, wool, and iron, among others. The micronation in question must have a means by which to extract/process these resources in order for them to count. For example, a micronation which sits on a gold mine but which hasn't the capability to mine that gold should not count gold for this section. Similarly, a micronation that has sewing facilities but no thread should not count their sewing machine. It should also be noted that land itself does not count for this section, as it is a prerequisite for statehood under the Montevideo Convention, which makes it a null-point in comparing most micronations. In the event of a micronation with no claimed land, subtract one from this section. Also, if the micronation in question has land but does not have the ability to produce food, subtract 1 from this section's score.
 * 0: Zero usable resources
 * 1: One usable resource
 * 2: Two usable resources
 * 3: Three usable resources
 * 4: Four usable resources
 * 5: Six or more usable resources

Budget

 * 0: $0
 * 1: Less than $100 USD spent yearly on the micronation in question. This includes its head of government's Internet connection and web hosting costs.
 * 2: Less than $250 USD.
 * 3: Less than $500 USD.
 * 4: Less than $1,000 USD.
 * 5: More than $5,000 USD. This may or may not include its head of government's Internet connection and web hosting costs.
