Even though the United States is a little further down the list, coming in 9th place, it still yields considerable power, enabling citizens to enter 186 countries without major restrictions. It’s a level of freedom also enjoyed by passport holders in Estonia.

I was expecting to see all the European passports at the same level...there are some small differences.
Also, I got surprise to see Venezuela in the middle of the ranking and not at the bottom.

I've never found these counts to be particularly useful. The metric (enter without prior visa) is too weak, and there is too much emphasis on quantity over quality.
I.e. America and Brazil slapping non-insignificant fees on each other's citizens for entering.
And really, are you telling me that the Japanese passport (193) is "better" in some meaningful sense than the Irish or Danish (191). Which additional shithole countries are you missing out on as Irish/Danish?

That's a valid reading, but in this case the data is worth what it's worth, it's just a ranking, nothing more!

The more interesting power measure to me isn't tourist visas, but access to permanent residency rights. On that measure EU passports are hugely valuable.

Even though the Japanese have a really strong passport, I don't think they do much international travel interestingly enough.

I suspect you're right! Ahah It would be interesting to have data from other countries to compare.
