Toss up between Brasil and Sweden. You did say Supreme power. Imagine having all those Brasillian Babes or Swedish Blondes at my beck and call.

Impossible to measure.  Your answer is most likely a country with no central government.  There are African nations that are eternally in governmental flux as power is shifted amoungst rival warlords.

I'd have to say America. I mean, look at who we've elected the last two times......

One nation under God indivisible...\n\nFrom the pledge of allegiance. I can't believe you actually got religious answers...

Every place on earth is owned and governed by some country or other.  Figure out where you want to go, find out what country it's in, and check their immigration laws.

The government of course!

Probably George Washington.  He inhereted a country that was pretty much going to Hell in a handbasket and set it on the path to become what would become arguably the greatest country in the history of mankind.  I don't think George Bush, Bill Clinton or George Bush Sr. should be listed as answers here because insufficient time has really passed for their legacies (and the full consequences of their decisions) to be assessed.

It would be the prime minister.  If I remember correctly Jamaica is a former British colony and still has the Queen of England as it's head of "state", while the PM is the head of "government."

Monaco, Barbados, Grenada, Liechtenstein, Maldives, Tuvalu, Palau, San Marino, Marshall Islands, Seychelles\n\nall these great mighty powerfull nations.

The only other country that has a power to take over as a super power is Peoples Republic of China. It is economically fastest growing nation and has the ability to stand against all the other nation. I would never agree to EU or India as they have a hiostroy of splitting and no co herence between them India has its own problems. But no 2 would be Australia.

Sovereignty is the exclusive right to exercise supreme political (e.g. legislative, judicial, and/or executive) authority over a geographic region, group of people, or oneself.\n\nWORD HISTORY -->The word has been documented in English since circa 1340, meaning preeminence, and as rule (since 1378). It derives from Anglo-French sovereynetee, from Old French souveraineté, from souverain (Sovereign, itself from medieval latin superanus which derives from classical Latin superus "superior" or "overness").\n\nNOTION\nThe source or justification of sovereignty ("by God" or "by people") must be distinguished from its exercise by branches of government. In democracies, sovereignty is held by the people. This is known as popular sovereignty; it may be exercised directly, as in a popular assembly, or, more commonly, indirectly through the election of representatives to government. This is known as a representative democracy, a system of government currently used in most western nations and former colonies. Popular sovereignty also exists in other forms, such as in constitutional monarchies, usually identical in political reality as in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realms. Systems of representative democracy can also be mixed with other methods of government, for instance the use of referendums in many countries.\n\nIn another model, national sovereignty is of an eternal origin, such as nature, or a god, legitimating the divine right of kings in absolute monarchies or a theocracy.\n\nA more formal distinction is whether the law is held to be sovereign, which constitutes a true state of law: the letter of the law (if constitutionally correct) is applicable and enforceable, even when against the political will of the nation, as long as not formally changed following the constitutional procedure. Strictly speaking, any deviation from this principle constitutes a revolution or a coup d'état, regardless of the intentions.\n\nIn constitutional and international law, the concept of sovereignty also pertains to a government possessing full control over its own affairs within a territorial or geographical area or limit, and in certain context to various organs (such as courts of law) possessing legal jurisdiction in their own chief, rather than by mandate or under supervision. Determining whether a specific entity is sovereign is not an exact science, but often a matter of diplomatic dispute.\n\nA BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CONCEPT OF SOVEREIGNTY\nBasileus is the Greek concept for "Sovereign", which designs who has the auctoritas, which is to be distinguished from simple imperium, retained by archons (or "magistrates").\n\nJean Bodin (1530-1596) is considered to be the modern initiator of the concept of sovereignty, with his 1576 treatise Six Books on the Republic which described the sovereign as a ruler beyond human law and subject only to the divine or natural law. He thus predefined the scope of the divine right of kings, stating "Sovereignty is a Republic's absolute and perpetual power". Sovereignty is absolute, thus indivisible, but not without any limits: it exercises itself only in the public sphere, not in the private sphere. It is perpetual, because it does not expire with its holder (as auctoritas does). In other words, sovereignty is no one's property: by essence, it is inalienable.\n\nThese characteristics would decisively shape the concept of sovereignty, which we can find again in the social contract theories, for example, in Rousseau's (1712-1778) definition of popular sovereignty, which only differs in that he consider the people to be the legitimate sovereign. Likewise, it is inalienable - Rousseau condemned the distinction between the origin and the exercise of sovereignty, a distinction upon which constitutional monarchy or representative democracy are founded. Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke and Montesquieu are also key figures in the unfold

Technically, a country is simply a geographical territory.  When you say a country, you probably mean a state, which is an independent territory with a government, a population, and sovereignty over these.  Sovereignty is the exclusive right to exercise supreme political (e.g. legislative, judicial, and/or executive) authority over a geographic region, group of people, or oneself.  So to be a politically recognizable state, the state much meet the above requirements.

its a Constitutional monarchy\n\nthe queen owns it all and is the supreme power, but Parliament run and administer the country.\n\nthe powers she is suppose to have can't ever really be used, she's more of a big walking advertisement for the UK - but...she's the head of some parts of the army, all the navy and all the air force...so she could...in theory. do what the king of Thailand did a while back...if needs be.
