The KPB ranking system is the current system used to rank nations participating in the World Cup and related events. The name KPB comes from the initials of the two nations involved in its creation. It was developed by Kaze Progressa during World Cup IX, with the principal modification made shortly afterward by Bedistan to ensure that Cup hosts did not suffer an unnatural loss of rank due to not participating in the qualifying stages.
For each competition, the total number of points (three per win, one per draw) earned by each team is divided by the maximum possible number of matches. It is then multiplied by some constant, depending on the type of competition and how long ago it occurred. The numbers are finally added together, and the nation with the most KPB points is officially considered the best in the world.

Competition multipliers
These are the constants by which all points-per-match are multiplied for each competition before being added together.
World Cup
World Cup proper
- Most recent Cup: x8
- Previous Cup: x4
- Cup before that: x2
Qualifying
- Most recent Cup: x4
- Previous Cup: x2
- Cup before that: x1
Cup of Harmony
- Most recent CoH: x1.5
- Previous CoH: x0.75
- CoH before that: x0.375
Baptism of Fire
- Most recent BoF: x1
- Previous BoF: x0.5
Under-21 World Cup
- Most recent U21WC: x2
- Previous U21WC: x1
- U21WC before that: x0.5
Note that the KPB ranking system is not actually used in the U21 World Cup, but it does affect the KPB ranks.
Other modifiers
Nations hosting a World Cup are not required to qualify. However, there would be a large loss of ranking for the hosts due to receiving no points for the qualifying round. Therefore, hosts are automatically credited with receiving double the number of qualifying matches in qualifying points, as this was determined to be a reasonable estimate of how most hosts would perform in qualifying.
A newer addition is that all nations that successfully qualify for the World Cup are credited with an additional five qualifying points, equal to a win and two draws.
Top nations
The top ten nations in the KPB rankings as of just before World Cup 17 qualifying are:
