Eventually, one nation will rise above and meet the US in status and economic power. Judging by current events and economic strength, who do you believe will be the next superpower?

I don't really see the US as a super power.

I'd have to say the Germans. Their efficiency and ability to build superior goods would make them a leader in the economic sense.

Unless China levels out its massive growth rate, it's going to explode.

India has all the basics, and with the Russian-Chinese-Indian economic pact made a while ago, it'll be able to grow faster, making it the next superpower.

Both China and India are rapidly progressing towards superpower status.

Hopfully the next superpower will be us. That is, humanity.

We've gone from tribe to city states to empires to modern states to multipolar power to two super powers to one superpower. If the trend towards integration continues we will end up with one superpower that comprises the entire world.

Canada will invade Iceland, then Monacco, then Kenya, then Nepal, then Russia, then it will be too late.

WTF is Monaco doing up there? We'd take over Finland after Iceland! Then Alaska, then Russia, and before you know it, Canada owns the Northern hemisphere. THEN, the entire globe will be ours!

*maniacal laughter*

cough.

How else are we to take down France. Monaco is in the perfect position for it. Besides, Russians aren't dumb, they will see through are propoganda and wan to live as we do.

Uh..we have some place called Quebec? Just let the French fight the french, in the end, they all die, so we conquer France and don't have the goddamn seperatist noises anymore. It's a win-win!

None, either we're going to blow up the planet with nukes or we're going to form a world-spanning government.

Don't laugh, with the strongest economy in South America, it could definitely rise as a regional power.

Fine, but we have to replace the Quebequois with kidnapped Russians. We could tell them that the last 13 years of Capitolism have been a fraud.

Who in the mind would put down Saudi Arabia ?! The moment the economical oil runs out it'd just be another sandy kingdom with 90% unemployment. Right now the Saudi unemployment rate is between 50%-60% depending on how do you fiddle the numbers.

But it was a fraud! :eek: Don't worry, they'd love to live in Quebec. Maybe we'll even change the name to Quebecgrad just to make them happier. :p
