Bic.\n\nThey make pens, lighters, AND razors.\n\nIf that's not a superpower, I don't know what is.

china... US... 2090ish.... \n\nnot sure on the winner.. depends on what happens between now and then... \n\nat the moment, U.S. is a two point favorite... the way I see it....\n\nthere is almost no chance that either\n\nA. the U.S. will completely fall out of the world view in 5 or so years\n\nB. that Russia will become that large of a player in 5 or so years... \n\nmaybe 30-50... not 5... unless there is some sort of huge depression... or nuclear incident... which would be WWIII anyway most likely...

Those who isolate will lose. Those who join will win out. India and China are rising stars in the big picture. Australia and Brazil are rising regionally.

That's interesting. I think that they can. I think that brazil is one of those "quiet" countries that will eventually emerge as the next world leader. And I believe that they will do it without power or might but with their wisdom that they obtain from watching the rest of the world screw up in form or another.

Not for a very long time rest easy. Since China artificially manipulates its currency and economic system, it will take some major changes to give it the real shakeup.\n\nfor your question, US should continue to be a world power atleast till 2080 followed by China and India. India will eventually takeover China by late 2090 to be the world's 2nd Superpower. By 2120, India will be the Largest Superpower, followed by China and US.

the United States is the world's only superpower.  it outspends all other countries COMBINED on its military/defense.  it may be that soon, it will be rivalled as the world's strongest economy, but when it comes to military might, the U.S. has no competitors even close to it.

one day if the US gets a little more power over the rest of the world and some technological advances the US could actually become and empire and use its influence to in effect rule the world.....or.....maybe one day the superpowers of the world will decide to band together and make the entire world and all its people into an unbreakable empire...hey you may laugh now but one day it could happen.

Lolz, i think that the US will still continue on to be the world power and slowly try to unite the world under Bush.  Once all the world is renamed into the great UNITED STATES OF EARTH, Bush will be our "central" leader and bring peace to all!!!\nNO WORLD WAR 3!!! ALL HAIL BUSH!!!\n=)

US, England, China, India, Russia, possibly Israel (they aren't saying and we don't know).  Probably others.  North Korea?  Anyone's guess.

No To teh guy who answered above me .... The ranking you just gave out id outdated ... Usa, Europe, Russia, Australia, Japan, Canada .. are first world ....\n\nSecond world ..... UAE(dubai), Brazil, CHina, New Zealand, Argentina, South africa,Meico, Egypt, Israel, and few other middleeastern countries) are considered 2nd world countried...\n\nThird are mostly african .... and few others would be .. Vietrnam,.. etc and teh others.... It is a term to describe who is more economically advanced... and who is more independed..... African countries lack funds... live in poverty and they do not have any soft of technology to help them through... They are less industralised.. and fall far far behind teh rest of teh world ( 1rst and 2nd world countries) .. I hope i helped you.... ANd there is an argument wheather to say put mieastern countries as 2nd or below second and just call them "Oil Wealthy Countries" but that has changed after they became more developed... I.E dubai.(UAE) ..>> is becoming the hottest market on this planet...so advanced.. ..Maybe The New Born hongKong... Anyhow .. thast why they call aftrcan countried 3rd world >>> electricity is scarcely available there...

probably china and england are two of the closest. the chinese have a lot of people and have revolutionized a lot of stuff liek technology. England is always a very powerful country.

If you are looking at it from the availability of funding point of view, the US hands down, but if are looking at great ideas, logical thinking, enormous brain power, then I'd say India. Give it some more time, it'll be a global destination for science and technology. st
