| UK is a regional power in Europe but not at all a Super-power.
Only USA currently holds this position. There are some major factors involved to achieve this situation.
The fundmental factors are:
- Strongest Economy
- Strongest Military
- Industrial Giant
- Massive Political Impact over the world
- VETO power in UN
- The capability to sustain in case of major disastors
USA enjoys all of these options and UK only enjoys 3.
China is the up-coming giant indeed as it enjoys 4 but it is ahead in every aspect to UK except 1 and that is (VETO). |
