OK? We were talking superpower and I'm going with US as KING OF THE WORLD

Ah, thought your comment was related to my Russia one

My argument is that populations with higher average IQ's create better countires.

Also, China is near or has surpassed the US on GDP

Hence why white and east asian countires are better than african ones.

If you want to get into THOSE statistics

By that account, Isreal should be up there.

Texas' GDP per capita (that's GDP divided by population) beats Australia's.\

Although, their military is pretty damn efficient

Isreal is a very small country mate it's not going to be the worlds biggest economy.

Beats the United Kingdom. beats Japan.

If the US didn't have the numbers on our side, their army would kick our ass.

Yes Oil is a good natural resource and great for building a big economy in the oil age.

Mexico has alot of Oil to yet it's very poor.

Your point?

Texas has a larger population than Australia as well.

Really?

Actually

Australia must be damn near empty then, what is the size difference there?

Texas and Australia are quite comparable

The wildlife is anyway

My point is that Texas has a larger economy than mexico becuase it has the same type of environment but better people.

I think the nihaoma's are missing when it comes to materiel (Aircraft carriers, aircraft numbers, etc etc)

They certainly have a population on us but I think that's it.

11.8% of those people are black, I'll have you know.

Explain this bullshit.

Australia has a population of about 24.1 million while Texas has a population of 28.3 million.

Yeah? You can count?!?

Texas like the rest of America is in decline.

Due to poor policy, yes.

Texas really isn't.

And changing demographics.

Australia has an area of about 2. Something million square miles. Texas is like 260000 square miles.

Australia is deserted.

That's not what a decline looks like.

Australia is the driest place on earth and has the worst soil on earth.

Really? Drier than the Sahara?

Yes most of Australia is semi arid or desert.

We also don't have alot of Oil like Texas.
