Superpower nations

[Jon855]

I have always wondered how do we really define the term Superpower.

The countries that I would claim to be superpowers =

USA, Russia, China, and the EU

Only due to the military and the market position they both have combined...
IMHO USA > * but I'll be on the look out for China within a decade.

Isn't the US a hyperpower or whatever the term is called. Soon as China get to superpower status then US will be back to a superpower, then there could be India, Brazil, Africa, and Russia again (one day). Can you call the EU a superpower ?

Any country that has UPS Delivery Guys is classified as a Realultimatepower Nation. The only way those guys can be detected is by the box they leave on your doorstep and the slip of paper saying you weren't home.
