[Icefrisco]

whos going to be the next superpower? im guessing china or the european union(though their not a country).

[Elric von Rabenfels]

Germany!!!
We will fight and win the World War III!
:german:

Bah, just kidding. Hopefully Europe will be united and can be counted in as superpower. China will be a superpower too. I just want that the USA is not the strongest superpower in the world, or that at least, that they have some worthy opponents.

Didn't we call that the cold war?

Why?
I have no desire to be part of any superpower.

I think China will become the strongest superpower, and I just hope my country can leech off their success (or the success of anyone else, it doesn't really mater to me).

Because in real world you either have power and tell others not to annoy you or you do not have power and have some idiot "liberating"/"saving"/"helping" you poor poor guy.

So EU better come something close to superpower in the least. That of course requires it to pull it's act together and tighten the ranks. Hopefully this is achievable if Britain gets over the "special" relationship and eastern border are reminded if it's better to be mates with those across the border then with those who are thousands of miles away. After that some serious independent building should start once ties to USA are reduced (overreliance on USA on military matters is critical weakness. EU has to build it's own system and that does not take place while NATO is main organisation for defence)


That said, China will be next superpower. EU could come there behind it if it does things I mentioned. Russia is a wildcard, lots of resources but they are not yet on the upswing of industry like China (too much old industry left from age of glorious communism I think) and India is bit unknown for me.

I believe the next super-power will be a secret and undercover CIA/KGB organization with complete Facist beliefs that will be soooo POWERFUL that they could even suppress Free-Thought...
...much like the Moderators on TWC.

[MoROmeTe]

The last bit is so uncalled for...

And the only superpower equal or almost equal to the US within an acceptable time frame is an, let's say, "Unholly Alliace" of China-Russia-India. But I don't think it shall happen...

USAE - United States of America and Europe!

No way! I will fight as rebel against that if Europe considers that!

Somalia

Why so? Shouldn't the world strive to combine governments into a model represenitive of what the EU is doing now, just on a grander scale? One Democratic-Republic for all?

[Giorgos]

lol, me too. i had officer training, let me lead the engineers.
it seems to me that China is or the rise and Russia is getting slowly out of limbo. these things are so easily changed by a gazillion of factors that it's impossible to know for sure.

Atlantis. I think the world needs a mythical land rising out of the ocean right now.

That would be great . Hopefully they bring technology for neutralizing all nuclear weapons along.

[Kovas]

I think that the worlds next superpower will be China. Or EU if we can be good allies and fight together.

[MasterAdnin]

I believe it will be China. Russia possibly, as they are recovering from their previous debts, etc.

[jankren]

United States of Asia

[RusskiSoldat]

China.
India is also a candidate, although for further away in the future.

The Principalitity of Lichenstein will unite with the Principality of Monaco to create the Lichensteino-Monacon Empire with the Prince with the Twin Crowns. Using money gained from casinos and skiing it will create the largest army per capita. It will then trick the whole British Parliament to come skiing, and they'll have an accident. As the Queen tries to take over due to the lack of a government, the people of Britain will grow mad and invite the Prince of the Lichensteino-Monacon Empire to take over exiling the House of Windsor. Now controlling three crowns, the King of England and Prince of the Lichensteino-Monacon Empire pressures the rest of Europe to accept his surzeinty. He then tricks the rest of the commonwealth into redeclaring its allegiance to British Crown. At that point he is now the most powerful man in the world....
