America (Economy S, Science S, Technology S, Politics S, Military S, Territory S) ← This

They definitely need a nerf.

Top-tier country.

>>3
In America, the real top is the capitalists and corporations.

>>15
Is it really though?
The president holds immense power.

>>21
The prime minister of a capitalist country is like a department manager.

Citizens: C

>>4
Citizens range from S to G.

Politics should be F.

Allies: C

America is really a cheat code.
Only China can somewhat compete with them.

Australia has a similar founding history, is far from Eurasia, and is resource-rich, yet...

>>9
The water problem...

>>9
Unlike America, the land is just terrible.
Too much desert, hard to secure water.

Social Security: G

But Rome also fell, and America won't last long either.
No great power has ever survived forever.

>>13
Well, you can already see the cracks forming in that country.

Why didn't South America succeed?
Is it because of their Latin temperament?

>>14
Their politics are too unstable and they're not very diligent.
But they have potential, so South America might get stronger in the future.

China
Land: Almost equal in area
Population: More than 3 times the US
Production: World's top
Economy: B+ (Not bad but still not there)
Science: A (Growing)
Technology: ?
But America's economic power is just too much of a cheat code.

>>16
They were the world's top until the mid-Qing dynasty when the British Empire emerged during the Industrial Revolution.

Their politics are a mess.
But they keep winning wars, so it doesn't stand out.

Their resources are probably around A to B.

Public Safety: E

India will be all S in a few years.

>>28
Economy: Mainly low-value service industry & non-unified domestic market
Science: Higher education enrollment rate 25%
Technology: Same as above
Politics: Semi-civil war state since its founding, continuous chaos
Military: Weapon level is half a century old
Land: Delayed infrastructure development & harsh climate limits usable land

All C.

>>39
They are strong in pharmaceuticals and IT though.

>>45
The weak manufacturing industry is fatal.
Even though IT is strong, it's mostly just subcontracting work, and talented IT professionals tend to flee abroad.
Due to the failure in forming a nation-state, there's no sense of patriotism among Indians.

>>53
So, it's definitely China then.

In terms of historical formation, America was built smartly by intelligent and passionate immigrants, while South America kept trying and failing to gain independence, admiring America, and eventually became countries somehow.

They have the world's reserve currency, can borrow endlessly, and attract money and skilled talent, so even China can't win.

>>31
Even the elite in China go to America.

Becoming the world's top in just 200 years from wilderness is insane.

>>38
They made huge profits from two world wars while Europe's hegemony self-destructed, which was a massive bonus.

>>38
American history is short.
It's strange to think that it's only been about 150 years since the Wild West era.

India is a chaotic country, but it's impressive that the country is relatively unified.
They have tons of domestic issues though.

Japan (Economy: B, Science: B, Technology: B, Politics: A, Military: G, Land: C)
Is this about right?

How about Nigeria?
They have a large population and could develop more.

>>66
They're expected to have 700 million people by 2100.
They have potential, but for now, they're just a poor country.
But having too many people in a poor area raises concerns about food issues more than national power.
Some African countries like Botswana are growing steadily with a smaller population.

>>66
Employment can't keep up with the population, leading to slums and gang formation, making things worse.

How did they even think of fighting this guy?

>>69
Qing Empire: 5 times the national power
Russian Empire: 10 times the national power
They probably thought they could handle an opponent more than 10 times stronger based on those wins.

A land blessed by God with resources coming from everywhere.
Even when they bought Alaska, they found oil.
But the wealth concentration among the rich is extreme.

History: E

It's like the modern Roman Empire.

>>89
Or maybe the British Empire.
