Sinéad Baker, 12/31/22
* US News and World Report ranked the world's most-powerful countries for 2022.
* The US remains number one, but global instability saw many other nations change positions.
* Ukraine rose by 19 places in the rankings compared to last year.
The US, China, and Russia were the planet's most powerful countries in 2022, a year marked by war and turbulent geopolitics.
The rankings, published by US News and World Report, look at how much influence countries have, as well as their political, economic, and military power.
It complied the rankings as part of its annual "Best Countries" study, which evaluates 85 countries based on responses from 17,000 people.
These are the world's 25 most powerful nations, according to the 2022 rankings:
1. United States
The US stays on top of the ranking for 2022.
US News called it "the world's most dominant economic and military power" and noted that its "cultural imprint spans the world, led in large part by its popular culture expressed in music, movies and television."
It noted economic woes and unrest in the country, including racial equality protests after the murder of George Floyd.
US News also cited the "leading role" the US often takes in international organizations, such as the UN and NATO.
2. China
US News noted China's huge size, that its economy is the second-largest in the world, and the dominance of the ruling Communist Party.
The outlet said the country has domestic struggles that come with its growing population and noted its deepening inequality and poor human-rights record.
However, it said, the country is hugely influential, is part of large international organizations, and has nuclear weapons.
3. Russia
The way that Russia is perceived globally has been dented by its invasion of Ukraine, and Western backlash has included global sanctions on the country's leaders and businesses.
But US News still noted how the country is "the world's largest country by land mass" and how it has one of the world's largest economies thanks to its oil and gas production.
It also noted how the Russia is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and is part of other major international groups including the G20.
