They are actually on the way back, maybe not to be the superpower they were once but became certainly stronger in recent years than during the 90ies. And they are kinda rich, just look at their resources - they supply lots of countries (and the question if they would use that as political weapon was one of the the major issues of this G8 summit - until the ME fubar broke out and went of course on top of the agenda).Originally posted by LordShiva

BeBro, there would be no Federation if the Borg ever turned their full strength against it. Wolf 459 was just a taste of what we, I mean us, I mean they can dish out.

Serb, yeah but in what position? Where's your list?
"Russia qualifies."
Ecthy, why not? Do you consider France's economy larger? France is like Italy with an inflated ego. True, they have Spiffor which counts for alot.
"Germany so far ahead of France in all your lists?"
BP, good question. How can you include Russia and exclude China?
"Why isnt China there?"
Alexander, Russia so far down? They have europe by their energy balls. Your Japan is well place I think. If they ever get serious about their defense they should solidify that spot.

Brachy-Pride, why do you have Japan so high? Based solely on the size of their economy? Is this a straight economic list? I suppose this is how they should be rated, but...irl, not so sure.

An easy way to do this: Rank them in order of impotence, then reverse the list.
