I'd read that as all states have all of these powers, not a specific nation is a soft power nation. But - admittedly 0 research into the source - i don't find that a compelling, MECE taxonomy. It's really describing, executive & legislative branch and economic policy. E.g. information is not represented

I can't come up with a country that would pass as soft power. Maybe EU/US with some of the laws that get replicated around the world (on top of their economic power)?
