What makes Countries More Powerful Than Others

[BADecker]

There is one thing that makes a country greater than another country, even when it is a weaker country. God is the answer.

Two of the reasons why God makes a country stronger than others are:

1. The people of the country believe in God, and are sincerely asking for His help and protection;

2. In the case of a wicked country becoming powerful, it is God making people of all countries be more sincere in their worship of Him. When people are oppressed without a way out, they plead with God for help... in sincerity.

This keeps me wondering if China believes in God

We can't really ask if a 'country' believes in God. Why not? Because some of the people do, and some don't.

Essentially, all people believe in God way down deep. Why? Because we all are made up of the Spirit/Image of God at our core. Some people claim that they don't believe, because they can't see through the mess of distractions in their lives. Others recognize God, but have a dim view. This means that they can't see what God is all about correctly. There is no clear picture of God anywhere, that portrays Him completely accurately.

What one needs is a sufficient amount of God - Jesus - so that he can be saved. It's like a swimmer who is drowning. He may be deep in the water and realize he has little hope. He may be near the surface. But it's only when he gets his head out of the water that he can breathe. And if he grabs that round life-saver that somebody threw to him, only then can he stabilize his life in the water. Jesus is the life-saver. So...

Regarding China, the people are at different stages in their salvation... their belief about God that is worthwhile. Some have their heads above water. Some have even taken a strong stance in their faith by grabbing the life-saver. Most are still under water.

However, if the US ever dropped a nuke on China, it would take out both the believers and the unbelievers in the area it was dropped on. But the taking-out is only for this life.

The military power of any country determine the strength and powerful they will become

Secondly the kind of system of government the operate

The ancestral strength of any given country always affect their present

[montaga]

Partaking in annual meetings makes someone powerful

[yazher]

When you say power, it consists of three things, the number of military, wealth, and weaponry. We see that wealthy countries like Brunei are untouchable because of their wealth and they don't really need to build their nuclear base because the other countries that have some weapon of mass destruction are offering them protection. I mean, countries that have some more powerful weapons are also in need of other wealthy countries to support them and that's how it goes. I may say the most powerful country in today's era is no other than China because they have all of those traits and they don't need any country to protect them in case they will declare war.

Militaries make nations stronger than others because countries make colors to cover the rights of the weak from the strong. From the beginning the service was one part of the bureaucracy, the other being the civil administration. Administration collects the necessary levies for running the state, provides introductory communal amenities and smooths the day to day lives of the citizens. The duty of the service was to maintain internal order, to cover the citizens' property to insure the essential security of life.

[Alisha-k]

Military strength, weapons, GDP and technology. In previous years before civilisation military might was the only criteria for supremacy but as innovation and technology came into play the more powerful a countries military might is as regards their physical strength and weapon might decided who tops the chart of who get more stronger recognition. Now technological advancement has made it even more difficult to rank a military base without good technology.

[coolcoinz]

GDP and military strength are the only two metrics that matter.

Military strength essentially being how many nuclear weapons you have. Normally the world wouldn't take a country like Russia seriously because their economy was failing for years under Putin and their military was weak -- only such problem being they had more nukes than any other country in the world so we're forced to look at Russia as if they have power.

Their power is overestimated because they aren't maintaining most of their equipment and that includes nukes. A great example of Russian maintenance is the state in which their carrier is. They had at least 2 big fires on it and it was supposed to get refitted but is inoperable for years now and even Russian sources say it's not going to be fit for service at least until 2024. In reality that's probably never and it's eventually going to be scrapped, because who's going to operate a ship that uses oil fired steam boilers in 2024, when the rest of the world has nuclear warships.

Countries can be powerful in many ways. They can have large economies, armies, technology they're trading. China is powerful because it has enormous industry and companies from around the world use their facilities to produce stuff. On the other hand, North Korea has nukes and nobody respects it, so nuclear arsenal is not the only factor that counts. Russia is not powerful because it has nukes but because it's the largest country in the world and 9th largest in population but with the number Russians dying or fleeing from the country it may soon fall from that position.

If a country is independently sustainable, have good economy, reasonable population growth, internally produced finished materials, high GDP, employment rate, low poverty rate, favourable environmental conditions, technological development, innovation and research and peaceable for a living, this will help them in having more power and say to show forth good example on others, the strong economy is a major drive that prioritize them over the other, because they renders help over others and have a good system in place others can learn from.

[Desmong]

It is very obvious that some countries are more powerful than others considering the kind of recognition they get from other countries. Some of these countries have a lot of influence more that others. Anything or policy they propose or support gets accepted by many other countries across the world.
The question now is what makes these countries more powerful than others?

There are so many things that can make a country more power and one of the things is less curruption. Curruption is one of the things that do make a country falls and when it has no control, things will get bad and there will be more calamity for the citizens to make the right choice. Bad government also contribute to how successful a country could be mostly when they are not organized.

What makes a country to be powerful than another country is the ability of balancing they are resources without any contradiction and the secondary having a wall equipment that when problem comes from another country they will be able to defend their self without seeking for help of any other so this is the thing is that will come stay it that makes a country to be more relevant and another country

literacy and rule of law make the country more powerful - USA is powerful and Canada and France and China

you're wrong, rule of law and and standard of living has nothing to do with , what makes a country powerful.
The only thing you said and I agree, is literacy. Is one of the things that make a country a powerful one. Because education brings innovation and invention of weapons of mass destruction and other dangerous arms. Through scientific research, but the most important thing that makes a country powerful than others is his military power and economic power. that's the only thing that makes a country powerful.

[HajiBagi]

There are many factors that contribute to a country's level of power, including economics, demographics, military, environmental and resource power, political power, and many others, but the military power of a nation is the most crucial. Many nations are weak because they lack adequate armed forces and other equipment to defend their territory or to win wars, as in the case of Russia and Ukraine, where Russia used what they had to defeat Ukraine. Therefore, in my opinion, a country's military might is what really sets it apart from rival nations.

[BADecker]

Right!  It's power, not money, that is strong.

I mean, if somebody was invincible, and had the power of Superman, he could rule the world, right? I mean, who could stop him, right?

[Hispo]

That would be a combination of Population, GDP and military.
The possession of nuclear weapons unfortunately is also bonus which can deter other countries to act against autocracies. North Korea is a good example, it is not a significantly powerful nation, does not have a thriving economy or the biggest army, but only their nuclear program is enough to keep in line their adversaries.

Also, influence of a country over others is a factor: imperialism, but I do not know what the dependence of this one on the other factors is, neither is it is a mandatory characteristic of powerful countries or not.

[Sakanwa]

First of all I will say civilization,when did they started getting Civilization, then can talk about stranded millitry strength as well too.
Been a powerful nation is all about having a good economy,a good government and also a good security system,having all this can make you to become a powerful nation or country.

For example let take the UNITED STATE OF AMERICAN now we all know they are the world powerful nation now,reason been that there economy is stable,they have a good leadership,good security system and also has a well equip and we'll trane millitry system,and this are all the quality that make them powerful then many countries today.
And again been educated also is also a strength of a powerful nation and also the intelligence of the government and the citizens too make a powerful nation.

[BADecker]

^^^ People were civilized right from the Beginning. Adam and Eve were civilized, and their first son, Cain, showed that he was, by murdering his brother. Loads of Adam's and Eve's children and grand-children were civilized in a good way. It's just that there weren't very many of them at the start.

We don't know how populated the Earth was before the Great Flood of Noah's day. Some estimates are into the billions. They were civilized in the fact that they worked together, but their civilization had loads of murder and contract breaking in it. And, above all, their civilization turned away from God and His laws for them.

After the Flood, probably the first serious civilization was set up by Nimrod at the tower of Babel. Following that, or around the same time, the Sumerians became a great civilization. The point is, these civilizations failed for the same reason that countries fail today. Ultimately they don't follow God's laws and worship Him.

[Dewchim]

Their military capacity, that country past history in series of wars and the ability to produce war equipment by themselves

[Belarge]

Having a large economy value,
Strong military forces
Having a government that cares for it citizens,
Good leadership.
The right of citizens are been valued.

[Doan9269]

A country's state of economy affairs is what gives it a priority over others and this start with the measure of the abundance of its natural resources, development and research advancements that has birth into alot of discoveries other countries are benefitting from, if you're not producing anything and having no results to show forth on recent developments then such country might be looked down on and have to be dependent on other advancing countries to dictate for them, this is another way of acquiring power by what solution to give to the world to mark your unique presence.
