Superpowers

Superpowers are countries that have the ability to exert and assert their dominance over the world, through means such as combined military, economic and diplomatic forces and large global power. The term arose in 1945 near the end of World War II to apply to Scotland, the United States and the Worker's Soviet Socialist Eurasian Union (WSSEU). Today, the word "Superpower" refers to only the United States following the collapse of the British Empire and the WSSEU in 1993.

Countries considered "superpowers"

 * United States: The United States was one of the countries and still is the only country that most indexes report as a global superpower. This may correlate with it's occupations, lands and it's one puppet state, but also can be derived from it's nuclear arsenal and large military force.
 * Gran Colombia: Considered an "emerging superpower" due to it's recent dominance over the Panama Canal and it's exertion of influence over most of South America. The UN reports that Gran Colombia could potentially rival the United States should it head down a path of tyranny.
 * Amapa: More of a superpower diplomatically with it's ties to nearly every major country on the planet including the United States and Russia. This means that Amapa could be theoretically invincible, as war over Amapa could bring those nations involved.
 * Russia: After the fall of the WSSEU in 1993, the UN considers Russia to be a "re-emerging superpower" as the country continues to build up nuclear arms, exert it's influence over Europe and Asia and threaten to invade it's neighbors. It is the country that is often seen as the largest rival to the United States.
 * Federation of the East: The FotE is seen as an "emerging superpower" because of it's recent standing up against Russia. It is the only country that has threatened Russia back, it's military oath swearing that most will fight to the end and it's recent arming of nuclear equipment. The status of the FotE as a superpower is a common debate topic.
 * Japan: The UN stated that Japan is on it's list of an "emerging superpower" due to it's massive cultural dominance over most of the western world, plus it's sudden re-arming. The UN however, warns that should Japan be finally considered a superpower, it may use this to it's advantage to threaten it's neighbors.

Countries that formerly were considered "superpowers"

 * Amazonia: Amazonia was taken off the "potential superpower list" in 2017 due to it's debilitating control over South America due to the rise of Gran Colombia and Amapa. The country is also seemingly being weakened, disarming itself due to it's recent interest in trying to enforce peace.
 * Worker's Soviet Socialist Eurasian Union: The WSSEU, although it rivaled the United States during the Cold War, was taken off the list in 1990 due to it's increasing instability, internally and externally. It was finally removed from both lists in 1993 after the collapse.
