Start at 100% and subtract for each of the nations that will not act in the best interests of themselves.
Rounding to the nearest meaningful number - 100%
Foreign aid, trade deals, trade, soverign debt, technology exchange, defence contracts, visas, student exchange, sanctions, tourism, visits by heads of state, state dinners, world bank, imf, un missions, peace keepers the list goes on and on - all bribery, some with extra steps, some literally writing a cheque in exchange for something on the world stage.
