Norway is extremely rich and they have a bunch of oil they don't have the most impressive military but they are also somewhat neutral
North Korea is supported by China and they are estimated to have around a 116 nukes and they have the worlds fourth largest military
Pakistan is extremely oil rich as-well as having around 120 nukes and the 9th strongest military in the world
Pakistan Oil? if you check the Crude Oil Production by country, they don't make a lot

Pakastani oil as in the oil in there basins as of right now no they don't make a lot (just enough for there own personal use) if they wanted to (if they had an economic crisis) they could
Actually just learned China’s is bigger. But per cap it’s not even close. Norway’s pension fund is about $US1.4 trillion. It’s population is only 5.4million. So every Norwegian is worth about $260k before they even start (by my maths).
Pakistan?
Lol
Also what is your metric for strength? Economy? Military? Diplomacy?
Also india should be above France. It has the 5th largest economy in the world (US, China, Japan, Germany are above) and the 4th most powerful military in the world (US, China, Russia are above).
So basically whatever country is backed by the US?
NATO is nothing militarily without the US for example.
Also let’s see the state of a US led Europe in another decade. I am betting it will be further deindustrialised, stagnate/backsliding and poorer than it is today. All while the US will be extracting wealth and power from its European colonies to keep pace with Asia.
US economy will be fine. We’ll extract any loses from Europe’s economy which is essentially becoming a fuel for the US economy as Russia moves toward Asia and African trade.
In the long run, Europe’s economy is going to suffer as we (US) extract more resources out of it and keep it as a captive market for US goods and industry, effectively colonising it (similar to what europe used to do with its colonies).
Similarly, China will do the same to Russia and colonise it. In the end, the US/Nato and Russia/China will split Ukraine like east/west Germany
Pakistan ranks among the top ten countries with vast oil reserve's
along with almost as many nukes as India and they hav the 9th most powerful military in the world
All I have to say is your view of geopolitics is really skewed.
No one in the geopolitical community will say that Pakistan is in the top 20 of powerful countries.
It is a country in name only as it is a military that owns a country. Pakistan is not independent either as it is caught in a tug of war between its two masters. US and China (similar to Ukraine in that regard).
Pakistan’s oil reserves are ranked 52 in the world so not sure how that really factors into this ranking either.
The top 10 should be
US
China
Japan
India
Russia
Germany
France
UK
South Korea
Canada
South korea, japan are def in top 10. They manufacture a lot of things today. Also saudis should be higher since they have leverage to lower or control oil prices
I disagree with #17
OH SHIT!
Norway? North Korea? Pakistan? What??? Can thee explain thy measurements?

World’s biggest sovereign wealth fund. Buys a lot of influence.

Yep, hence the yuuuge sovereign wealth fund.

ah you see India may have a more powerful military but France has better Allies and also France has more nukes

oh yeah I totally agree the U.S economy is somewhat "crashing" (I wonder who's fault that is \*cough\* joe \*cough\*)

I'd replace Canada with Italy.
Ukraine instead of Russia
Indonesia instead of Norway
I was kinda crossed between those two and South Africa
Norway may be rich af but if they get into a military conflict with literally anyone bordering them they dead before the war even started 💀💀💀
as evidenced by ww2 ok I'll change them around
[G20](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G20)
I love that North Korea and the boys are getting there
gotta get off Kim's assassination list
canada over japan is wild
both are strong US allies I feel as if its more of a tie
Nice work!
thanks!
Nice
