Shhh. I don't like where you're going with this. |
Of course, no nation has ever had such a far reaching "influence" as the USA (I'll hold off the "e" word for now 
), nor has a nation had the economic dominance in comparison to the rest of the world. The 1800 great powers were never superpowers.
Not that I'm saying that you won't fall, of course you will, all things that go up must come down, but it's going to be more of a gradual relative fall like Britain went through during the whole of the 1900s, rather than what Japan seems to be going through.
