Relations between two countries in terms of informational indifference and concernment could be expressed by mutual country references in their international news. We introduce intercountry distance as a multiplicative inverse of the geometrical mean d = (p₁₂·p₂₁)⁻¹/², where p₁₂ is a part of international news of country 1 about country 2 and p₂₁ otherwise. Meaning of such distance is that nearly every dᵗʰ international news from these two countries are about each other.

Country relation is divided into 5 levels:
- disinterest (blue level), when two countries almost do not mention each other.
- standard interest (green level), normal interest around median.
- high interest (yellow level).
- exceptional events or political tension, diplomatic scandal, attack etc. (orange level).
- red level, we do not have examples with such the hottest events, assume that it's war.
