No, not like superheroes, but countries. I was bored on wikipedia, and I came across this article about superpowers, and it doesn't mention very defined criteria. According to the article, the USA is the only superpower, with countries like India, China, Russia, and the EU coming up fast. So how would you all define a superpower?

Here's the page in case you guys want to read it;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpower

A nation capable of effecting world affairs with its actions, whether they be economic, political or military

That's pretty low requirements. An opec country can half all oil exports... does that make that country a superpower?

I'd say the US is a superpower in every way. Russia, China don't fit the bill yet [ though for China its a matter of time], and the European Union... is a union... of states.

Yes, but the article decided to group them together as the EU for some reason. I'm not entirely sure why, but I guess it kinda makes sense.

Instant Force Projection anywhere in the world
