Here in the Empire, our economy is booming, so I would classify us as an extreme economic power.

The Earth Empire is a superpower, our tech might necessarily be the best, we might not have the largest population and we might not be the best overall but we dominate in each factors to the point that it is a "Super Mario" in terms of other nations.

For examples, our EMRS is a kinetic system while most nations use Energy weapons, our weapons might be older in tech but are more powerful in the goal.

Would it be nit-picky of me to say that "National Power" is the term representing the total level of power your nation has, and not an actual ranking of power, like the others? Yes? Yes, it would be.

Yatl Rasc is an economically stable empire, with its nominal GDP being the second-highest in the region!

...Unfortunately, that region is Oceania, making it, through extreme generalizations, less powerful than Australia, but more powerful than New Zealand. Its territorial gains don't reach to anything beyond the Pacific, the latest of which was acquired during the Second World War. It's a middle power if anything; strong and sustainable, but it can't influence much outside of the region, if it can achieve to do that.

We're an economic and military power, serving as a fortified outpost for the Empire in the Outer Rim.

And why the fuck are 11's claiming to be superpowers, YOU'RE NOT.

Milograd is known for being rather isolationist, and it has rarely interacted with the world outside of Gholgoth. It is for this reason that it can be classified nothing greater than a minor regional power.

Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

The Mercatorum are a cultural and economic power, our trade and our media stretch the far corners of the galaxy, the fashions of every nation and every Empire follows us, our art is revered by lesser nations, our music inspires billions. The gold & silver of the Merchant Republics ripples economies throughout the universe.

Much like The UEG-Space Command, it's been added to my signature - roughly below the bit about somebody's amazement that Scotland uses the pound.
Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

* - And I may refer to the country as Mid Lothian. If I do, assume that I mean Central Lothian. (And not to be confused with "Midlothian" - I'm using that as a fascist version of CL.)

Superpower, because of democratic foreign influence, the nuclear weapons and the strong economy that's now feeling the effects of the recession elsewhere, i.e. more companies coming over here and imports falling.

I think a massive nation with cover a billion people, the largest economy and country in the world, the most advanced, the most civilised, the biggest welfare system, the NHS can be described as a hyper-power.
