Take a country or group of countries (other than the U. S.) and speculate their possible performance as the leader in global events and influence.
I'm glad you provide "group of countries" as an option. But I would like to see a balance of power, which would still include the U.S. (and this is the likely scenario IMO).Loren Booda said:Take a country or group of countries (other than the U.

Becoming a world superpower is a complex process that involves a combination of economic, political, military, and cultural factors. Countries that are able to maintain a strong and stable economy, have a powerful military, and exert influence on a global scale are more likely to become world superpowers.
While a country's size can play a role in its potential as a world superpower, it is not the only determining factor. Smaller countries with strong economies and influential global power can also become world superpowers. Additionally, a large population does not necessarily translate to a strong economy or military.
Access to resources and technology can certainly play a significant role in a country's potential as a world superpower. Countries with abundant natural resources, such as oil or rare minerals, can use these to their advantage to become major players in the global economy. Advancements in technology can also give a country a competitive edge in various industries and contribute to its overall economic and military strength.
There is no set limit to the number of world superpowers. Throughout history, different countries have risen and fallen as dominant world powers. However, in today's interconnected world, it is unlikely that there would be more than a handful of superpowers at any given time due to the level of influence and control these countries have on a global scale.
Maintaining a position as a world superpower requires continual effort and adaptation. This includes maintaining a strong economy, investing in research and development, maintaining a powerful military, and forming alliances and partnerships with other countries. It also involves staying up to date with advancements in technology and adapting to changing global dynamics and challenges.
