Which countries do you think would be superpowers in 2050? 2100?

Answer 1

2050:
1) USA: although we are economically idiotic for the time being, we have a clear understanding of the problem and how to fix it. We have an excellent foundation and will continue to have the most unified citizen support - assuming we continue to be of the people, by the people and for the people. We have the best mechanism for fixing our mistakes.

2) EU: the EU will be able to draw in new nations for some time - hiding its weak political structure and self-destructive agenda. Its power will peak very high - possibly (briefly) overtaking the USA. But it is an illusion, destined for mediocrity - if not total collapse.

3) China: made a superpower by the U.S. and E.U. (its only stable partners). Thanks to its oppressive political system, it cannot sustain power independently of them. If current trends continue it will overtake the EU, but it will never be number one in its own right.


2100:
1) USA (see above)

2) China (see above)

3 - tied) EU: through taxation and excessive "p.c." legislation the EU will become nearly as oppressive as China (possibly more so, should China continue its current trend toward semi-communism), virtually eliminating economic and intellectual opportunity. With no more promising, gullible new countries to lure under it's domain, the power of the EU will decline rapidly. Only the British will keep them in the ranking.

3 - tied) Mexico: 100 years should be enough time for Mexico to learn to exploit the USA as effectively as China, but you never know.

2100: 1. USA 2. Some international organization

Answer 4

2050: 1. USA 2. China *A democratic China
2100: 1. USA 2. China 3. Russia

Answer 5

2050 - The U.S. European Union
- The U.S. and E.U. continue to work closer together and in time are indistinguishable from eachother except by geography. Politically and economically by this time, they are one, needing to join eachother to add strength against growing competition and opposition.

2100 - Australia
- Doesn't suffer from overpopulation and immigration, becomes a prime destination as a secure haven from the chaos of the world. 21st century tech boost this locale to be a modern era Atlantis.

I didn't want to repeat many of the answers above so I gave a bold prediction to be different. The chances of any of this happening are slim, but there is still a chance. Salt may be needed.

Answer 6

No country will be a superpower by 2050 for one of two reasons. First we will have have a war that includes nuclear or hydrogen bombs and we we will be reduced to a remnant of our former selves.
Or we will have decided that humans can no longer wage war to solve our problems because if we do not stop thinking, feeling and believing as we do now about war, we will reduce ourselves to a remnant of our current selves.
Did you know that rendition is a process of reducing. We will render ourselves to a remnant of our present selves.
Be part of the solution, or be mutually rendered.

Answer 7

well definitely the preexisting superpowers will still be. Im gonna go out on a limb and say India. Maybe Korea if it reunifys under prudent leadership. Saudi Arabia if they can manage to bring better relations with the rest of the industrialized world.
