WHO is the next superpower?

[Person012345]

The World Health Organisation is the next superpower? Who knew?

[Natapoc]

Canada is the next superpower.

It better not be China, although I wouldn't be that surprised. They've got a massive amount of money from selling anything to anyone (nuclear equipment to Iran and Pakistan, arms to various countries like Sudan, cheap crap to us). Besides, they could call the debt (you know, that multi-trillion dollar debt we owe them?) anytime, although I doubt it. It would destroy our economy, which would in turn destroy the world's economy. Anyway, while China is a communist dictatorship and a crappy place to live, they're definitely an emerging military and economic power.

No, I'd be really interested in this multi-trillion dollar debt, source please.

Sorry, I mistyped. I meant multi-billion.

Oh that is nothing we could repay that by raising taxes back up to what they were under Reagen.

Or just starting another world war to increase production and get people back to work.
Hey, just some theorizing, here...

[East Fancainia]

It was all semi-sane until you got to the Japanese moonbase part...

The moon stuff kind of throws off the vibe, yeah, but hey, shift happens.

Sort of, kind of.

Eh.

Japan would have the balls to try it, though...
So, hey, you never know.
It's a lot more likely than Canada ever becoming a superpower.

Actually....Japan can't declare war on anyone...so...yeah

[Rhodmhire]

I'd say German if it dumps the EU....If the whole treaty thing is dropped...Japan...

Like, "Hey, our leader has a wicked sweet toothbrush moustache, let's kill Jews!" German or like, the other kind?

Nah, in Germany, even the book Mien Kampf is illegal.

[Fedeledland]

Europa/European Union/European Federation/The New Commonwealth/
Whatever you wanna call Europe when it's unified.

You mean the United Kingdom of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland?

Intelligent...you know..not building 'Landbattleships' true to their name.

[South Lorenya]

I wasn't referring to the US, actually, so much as Israel, Morocco, and the rest of Europe (including Russia).

Of course, if the US joined with Canada the EU, the new conglomeration would dominate EVERYTHING.

EDIT: Yes, even dragons can use the wrong word by accident.

Maybe you could annex the British Empire and call it Oceana?

So, hey, you never know.
It's a lot more likely than Canada ever becoming a superpower.

Actually....Japan can't declare war on anyone...so...yeah

Not yet anyway. >_>

However, I think in the context of what I was describing (from that crazy-fun book), it would be more indirect--I don't think Japan would formally declare war or deploy a serious amount of troops. A majority of the actually aggression would originate from the Turks, Japan would kind of just be there to be there when they needed to be there.

Or something.

Eh, how's the logo for Japs on the Moon coming along?

Hey, just some theorizing, here...

I advise fighting a bit more east, this time. Perhaps Iran as first part of the new axis of evil, North Korea as second and France as it's backup. And please obliterate the French language, while you are at it.

Do you know how many of Japan's resources does Japan have to import? at least 70% of them. It is a good inversion for everyone, as Japan has almost no resources. I think Isaac Asimov based Terminus on it.

[The Sentenial Empire]

China is probably going to end up invading the US, or US invading China.

We're reliant on eachother economically...not gunna happen, besides it would be a long and bloody war.

We'd just need to fight eurasia and eastasia on and off. Could always switch allies occasionally.

They were higher under Reagan than now.

And I agree with Natapoc, the debt owed to China is minuscule, when our real debt is in the ten's of trillions, less than a trillion being 'called in' (they can't btw, sicne its mostly bonds), isn't going to ruin us.

Yes, when you compare all that land with Russia, the U.S, and the possibility of a unified Asia, it works out.

Nobody said Japan wouldn't suffer economically for this. As a matter of fact, it would probably perpetuate some form of aggression, especially considering, around this time, energy will become a serious concern with Japan producing little to none of it.

Or something.

Eh, I'm thinking like the red circle from the Japanese flag plastered in the center of the moon, only the moon is being blown to smithereens.

what's more likely is a China -India war, which would be epic.
