Political Study: The Most Powerful Nations in TSP

- Who would the superpower nations would be?

Superpower nations was discussed earlier (here) and it seemed like the common opinion was that there are no such nations in the South Pacific. However true or not, some nations are more powerful in the eyes of others. If people (through this study) happens to agree on some nations being more powerful or influential in the role-play sense, a list/map showing relative political power could be made.

This study will mainly use a score system based on the answers below. Such elements as soft power will not be included in this study. Try to be relatively reasonable with the answers. For example, please do not let your nation have GDP of 100 USA's.

Please note that this a study only about role-play nations and not specific people (users).

If you want to participate, please answer the questions below. Post your answers here, or send me a PM (if you fear your opinion would influence the other answers). As always, feel free to comment and leave suggestions below.
