This country does not exist.


 ;D!  Gotcha!

Seriously, this is my clue:

This country has been a world power with only one interruption since the 1870s.

i think he means the G8, so i guess it was Russia. No wait..let me research, didnt notice the year.

does that country still exist or is it still a world power?

if not, Prussia, which was interrupted after the napoleonic france vs prussia war, to create the German Empire(1st Reich).

If im wrong i still bet this country is european, alot have happened in 1870. :p

if the country exists, i bet France, because it lost the war...right? im confused, who won the war?

NHL said since 1870s, not til 1870s. So my guess is Germany as it was formed in 1871 (as Delfos wrote). And the interruption is WWII.

Germany has had two interruptions in World Power status, from 1918-1933, and from 1945-1955.  The country I am thinking of has had only one interruption.

EDIT: And the "Does not exist" was just a joke.

And, the US is incorrect.  It is no longer a World Power, it is a Superpower, the category above that.  The country I am thinking of is CURRENTLY a World Power.

Russia is a G8, if so it's a super power, no?

Austria

Being on G8 does not make one a superpower; in fact, G8 has nothing to do with the status of world/superpower (China is a World Power, but it isn't on the G8)

Austria ceased to be a World Power in 1918, hasn't been since, and Russia has been a world power (with the 1948-1991 interruption of being a superpower) since the early 1700s.

Next: This country has no diplomatic relations with the Holy-See, and appoints her own bishops for her Catholic Churches.
