Which country is poised to be the next superpower by 2050?

[Estado Nacional]

The current recession it just steeped into hurts me personally.

No, it doesn't. Unless you're from Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia or some other South America shithole whose largest trading partner is Brazil. Or, alternatively, if you're from Brazil.

[Empire of Narnia]

Canada will rule the freakin' world.

[Fanosolia]

Can I say canada for giggles?

[Novo Portugal]

"*insert stupid joke option about some small shithole like Swaziland being the next superpower here*"
This option has 24%. So Swaziland it is! Who's the stupid one now? Swazi Empire will rule the world, it is settled then.

I think he just can't accept the superiority of the Swazi people. They are the master race, afterall.

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

Liechtenstein will ascend to superpower status by 2050. *nod*

[Pimps Inc]

Puerto Rico

[Oceanic Vakiadia]

Not China, that's for sure. That bubble will pop by 2030 at the latest.

[Arkiasis]

Canada. Global warming will make it possible to move further north and with the ice sheets melting in the arctic that will expose a ton of oil. Good thing Harper is destroying the environment so we can get there faster.

[Nervium]

Turkmenistan is greatest country in world.

[Murkwood]

This is the third time you make a thread about this subject. Don't you get tired? Or do you just want people to reaffirmate your belief that the US will remain the world's superpower by 2050? For fuck's sake.

The last/first time I made this I was still Gallup.

[Pandeeria]

Global Fire Power.

Geopolitical Superpower =/= who has the most military spending.

By that logic countries like Egypt and Iran have more influence than Germany or Japan.

Do you know what global fire power is?

Do you know what global fire power is?

Yes, and I also know it doesn't measure political influence. It measures military power and takes into account a few factors like purchasing power. Regardless, it's not a measure of geopolitical power.

[True American States]

The US will still be at the top. China ain't shit!

[Indian Empire]

United Kingdom, China, Japan, or Australia.

[Devera]

Defeiantly not the USA, while I live there, I can tell you this; it is slowly falling apart in my opinion. I would say Japan, South Korea, hell even Germany will be the next three major super powers, with possibly Sweden and Scandinavia in general, since funny as how their neutral, makes lots on arms manufacturing.

[Nationes Pii Redivivi]

United Kingdom, China, Japan, or Australia.

Even factoring in its weak economy at the moment, France has a greater chance of being one of the next superpowers than Britain does.

My money, though, is on Ireland.

[Grand Britannia]

Canada. Global warming will make it possible to move further north and with the ice sheets melting in the arctic that will expose a ton of oil. Good thing Harper is destroying the environment so we can get there faster.

Canadians are hiding Jihadist confirmed must liberate with liberation missiles.

[Gyrenaica]

Time to free Canada. *arms freedom missiles*
"Before you go, Canada, would you like some freedom fries and a liberty burger as your last meal?"

[Nationes Pii Redivivi]

Time to free Canada. *arms freedom missiles*
"Before you go, Canada, would you like some freedom fries and a liberty burger as your last meal?"

Well, as an American, let me jjust say: "O Canada, my home and native land..."

[Darspazistan]

Luxembourg

Do you know what Global Firepower is?

Since I'm the one who brought it up, yes, I know what it is.

In which case, what are we measuring then? Economic strength? Military strength? Industrial strength?

If military strength, then the US, and I was correct.

If economic strength, then the US however the EU will eventually overtake us.

If industrial strength, then China has it and will easily keep it for the next 100 years.

The joke of [insert impossibly small/weak/poor country here) got stale after the first fucking 40,000,000,000,000 people said it. It's not going to be funny the 40,000,000,000,001st time.

It's not impossible. They could make it.
