First of all Ruissa has the fraction of the power it had years ago and China is growing everyday so obviously china.
Canda probably has more bear's then the u.s

Actually, there's something I'd like to add to that: Russia is part of the P5 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council#Permanent_members], meaning they already have a lot of standing in the UN as it is. Hell, they can veto a resolution passed by the other member states, even if they are outnumbered.stompy post=18.73207.788545 said:
Edit: I don't think I've clearly explained the power the P5 nations have. Here, this is a bit clearer:
A negative vote, or veto, by a permanent member prevents adoption of a proposal, even if it has received the required number of affirmative votes.
So, if Russia doesn't want something to occur, it can veto, making sure it can't occur through the UN.

Yes, as often as possible. That picture should be beside the word "awesome" in the dictionary.Shivari post=18.73207.790651 said:

Mods, если вы имеете проблему с постоянн русским, то все оно принимает для вас, котор нужно сказать мне, и мне не помню остановить.
I hear Bhutan is making waves...
In all seriousness as the British empire waned it owed vast sums of money to America. Now America owes huge sums to China... As for Russia, it can do the big bully thing all it likes but it all reality its an economic mess and will never be a superpower, as true superpowers rely on economic pressure much more than military might to enforce their will. its just not profitable otherwise.

China. They scare the shit out of me. They're starting to become more like the USA, but with a single-minded dedication to succeeding in whatever they do, and the government hitting down hard on anyone who steps out of line. Imagine America ruled by fascists disguised as socialists. That's pretty much where China is headed.

It's all very well until people realise that the guy doing hardly any work is getting just as much as you for it. Then the whole thing breaks down because people lose motivation. Then you have the problem of corruption...
I'm not saying that full-on capitalism is the best way, but a little in between might help.
Unless of course you were joking, in which case consider my sarcasm detector broken.
New Zealand.
They've been quiet over there for far too long.
Seriously though, if the US of A was no longer the world's dominant super power there are several countries that would love to fill the gap - the only problem is that for America to lose it's position as self-proclaimed leaders of the 'free world' it would have to be destroyed, and you can be damn sure if they're going down, they're taking the rest of us with them.

Switzerland, of course. The LHC will give them zero point technology. Any "hidden" nuclear weapons are match heads in comparison. Force fields, trans warp drive, matter transmission (c/o IBM Edinburgh) and flying cars to follow.
I think the LHC is already operational. The recent fault is as factual as a weather balloon in Roswell.
They need time to wash the pentagrams and runes off the walls and mop the floors.
