The Next Super Power!
-
EVITA RULES for a thousand years and then … Semper Haiti! - Xi
“Laughter is the shortest distance
between two people.” - Victor BorgeLOL - Xi
-
Well, except for Brazil - South America could make up a pretty good power in the game. Don’t forget the underground networks in Argentina.
-
what about india? it will have a bigger pop. then china in ten to 20 years.
-
Ummm… we’re sort of talking about A&A superpowers now… heheheh :)
-
but then india and china will go to war and there pops. will deminish.
-
India and China don’t really have a reason to go to more - no more than India to Pakistan or China to Taiwan. And they haven’t fought yet.
-
your probebly right as india and china both have nukes and india has a no first strike policy and i’m not sure if china does, but in the future…
-
In the future Canada and Mexico might declare war on each other. The key word is “might.” We have no reason to assume that China and India will go into dispute over one another (at most the Kashmir, Tibet region) and least of all, war.
-
Canada and the United States might go to war. One quick thrust into Washington D.C. and the US government is captured which would end the war.

and they would retaliate by sacking Toronto b/c they don’t know what the capital is, and we’d still have a government :lol:
AND TORONTO WOULD BE SACKED TO BOOT!!! :D :D :D(that’s a little “west vs. east” for you)
-
Ha, in what part of Canada do you live? Nice place? What’s the capital of Canada again [j/k] :wink:

And the people, free of the tax burden give Canada the states of Illinois, Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Puerto Rico(territory), Florida, New Jersey, New York, New England and Washington D.C. Alleluia! - Xi
-
Canada will always be alive because if the US invades we can sneak away to northern Canada and live in igloos :D

Smart Canadians. Going up against Canucks is one thing, but going up against foul abominations like Polar Bears that live in the North is quite another. :wink:

GZ, you gotta neat the quote up!
-
China and India have gone to war before.
Most Candaians live within a few dozwn miles of the border. In one day of advancing we would control slmost all the major population centers.
-
I made that same point re: Canada in another string.
-
China and India have gone to war before.
Over what?

Taken as a whole, the European Union is already a superpower. Europe statistics compare fairly well, though maybe not as strong in GNP or Per Capita Income as they do in America.
Country Population GDP Tax Revenue Military Spending
USA 278,058,881 $9.963 trillion $1.828 trillion $276.7 billion
European Union 378,714,991 $8.478 trillion $3.006 trillion $165.677 billionIn the next fifteen years, if Western Europe properly invests in the development of Eastern Europe, maybe… 5-8% each year, a combined Europe would become a very powerful superpower.
If unified defense and foreign policies join unified economic policies within the EU by 2017 then the EU would have:
Country Population GDP Tax Revenue Military Spending
EU 483,714,991 $10.828 trillion $3.789 trillion $208.8 billion(data taken from http://www.geocities.com/muffins4brains/EUsuperpower.html)
With economic growth, the United States would not be far behind and might surpass Europe by reaching the $11 trillion mark by 2017 if we invest in current productivity in future growth. This still leaves open the possibility of a Chinese or Indian Superpower across the Pacific Ocean.
