This is a thread on which country (ies) you think are the best in the world. You can also post why you made your decision.

RUSSIA!
They are quickly catching up to the U.S. politically, militarily and economically.

Also, I was born and raised there.

Oh, I chose the EU and Japan, because living in Japan, I can say that it pwns.

The EU is advanced in every definition of the word, and is the only state actually DOING anything about the environment.

Global warming is a myth.

How did you choose two things? that seems a tad unfair.

I made it so that you could choose two, if you wanted.

And not just global warming. I meant the environment PERIOD.

The United States and Japan.

The United States because idiot leader or not, we're still a superpower, and despite the recession we're in, if the United States fell, the world would be fucked.

Japan? I like anime. That's about it.

If the U.S. fell, so would the entire world's economy. So, yes, if the U.S. fell, the world definitely would give a damn.

Not to mention the huge political repurcussions, the wars that would erupt over North America, the complete and utter collapse of the United Nations, AND the fact that the only country qualified to be a Super Power... would be China.

The U.S. doesn't affect the world's economy nearly as much as it used to.

If, say, China fell, then all of their exmports would rattle the world's economy.

But the U.S. has fallen before, Superpowers have fallen before, and the world continued without them

There are other countries that make up the U.N., there are other counteries to become superpowers, and the fall of ANY country creates wars.

The U.S. didn't get destroyed utterly, but it became insignificant enough for the world several times.

It only became a superpower 60 years ago.

The United States used to be insignificant, this is true. However, this does not mean that it is insignificant now. The world depends on the U.S., just as the U.S. depends on other countries. The world would likely become chaotic if any of the major countries went down.

*Facepalm* After this statement, I'll be done.

The three superpowers to emerge after WWII were the US, the USSR, and the British Empire. They ALL became superpowers at the same time, and were the only superpowers ever. After Britain's colonies broke off, and the USSR fell to peices, the only Super Power left was the US. Countries that might BECOME Super Powers are; China, India, the EU, Russia, and Brazil.

A quick note: the E.U. is actually more like a trade agreement. As of now, they are still separate countries.
