We discussed what a superpower is in rp. China has a long way to go before it can become a superpower. It has to get it's economy a little bit better. If anyone in the world is next to being a superpower it would be the European Union. Once the EU becomes more united (as in the creation of a united European military), then the EU will become the next superpower
EU's economy has been growing at a slower clip than the US's for quite some time now. By the time they federalize they'll have been left behind. China's obvious overpopulation problems, currency manipulation, and general growing pains when transitioning from a command economy into a free market (does the CCP even want to go free market anyway?) will catch up with them.
Hey i didnt know you were canadian! :D

If the Commonwealth turnes into more than it is like a defensive alliance instead of a trade and immigration alliance, then people might think the British Empire has returned. Which isn't that bad. I wish that I could live under the Empire like my grandparents before me. God Save the Queen!Here here! I would prefer a strong defence/economic alliance between the Commonwealth nations to the EU, NAFTA, North American Union, or even NATO.
Most Americans would probably echo the same sort of objections to any sort of North American Union. Just look at how they freak out over Mexican immigrants.Maybe with Mexico, but America has historically always had an eye on Canada.
Ooh Ooh then we could elect a new "world leader" and call him Big Brother.BIG BROTHER is
meh if anything it will be cool to finaly get the second american civil war started so new england can finaly become a part of canada (over 75% of the people i have asked about this support the idea) and the south can finaly do whatever it was they wanted to do and well hollywood could hold onto the west coast until china invades and makes them think twice about who is the bad ass of the world.If the Commonwealth turnes into more than it is like a defensive alliance instead of a trade and immigration alliance, then people might think the British Empire has returned.

Of the three North American nations, which one is pushing the hardest for this to happen? The good old US of A.
I would rather Canada not join the EU or a North American Union. Both would detrimental to our sovereignty.Oh look, something we can agree! Either full integration or step out of it, being in the middle of it only makes things worse...for the rest of us.
I would like to see the UK pull out of the EU, and help strengthen the British Commonwealth. Let that serve as our primary economic alliance.
Great Britain has always considered themselves separate from the rest of Europe, so I don't see why they should be a part of the EU. Most Britons agree with me on this actually.QuoteI would rather Canada not join the EU or a North American Union. Both would detrimental to our sovereignty.Oh look, something we can agree!

forced-energy-saving-lightbulbs:h: no one is forcing me, i still use some normal lightbulbs, oh but wait, they give us free forced-energy-saving-lightbulbs at the supermarket...why should i waste money in something that is worse than the ones they offer? do Americans like to waste energy on purpose? by your argument, it sure seems so. Maybe you should look at USA budget to see other wastes...maybe yours taxes would go down...who knows.
