How Can Britain Become A Superpower Again?
It may seem off the cards due to their size and lack of empire. To become a superpower requires a nation to have significant political, economic, military and cultural influence. Britain still have a large amount of all of these things, holding a place in the UN security council and having the 5th largest military by expenditure. However, most of their influence comes from WW2, the commonwealth, colonies and other remnants of the empire. They are often in America's shadow.
Here's some methods I've thought of:
- Increased military arsenal; more battleships, submarines and more ships patrolling the seas.
- Mandatory conscription system similar to Switzerland.
- Investment into developing nations to encourage pro-British sentiment such as Canada and Australia.
- Australian style immigration system.
- Incentives for producing British media with distinct cultural value and distributing it around the world.
- Anglicization to counter Americanization.
- Increased funding to scientific institutions and the UK Space Agency and land on moon to become first man landed on moon.
- Make use of overseas territories.
- Invade and conquer United States of America.
That should cover it for now.

Idk, build a big wall or something. That's how people in America think we will get back to greatness

3 RepliesAll those things will happen we just need more land first. Like, we were a superpower BECAUSE we had all the money, resources, military of the commonwealth, which was at one point like 2/3 of the globe. We just need to invade Africa.

Next world war attack the main land. Only reason America became a superpower is because they didn't lose any infrastructure except Pearl Harbor. All these "MURUCA!" Idiots believe America was like the superior fighting force of the world and our economic system made it to hegemon status. The East was bombed to the ground and America had no domestic threats. They weren't pressured like Russia, the TRUE heroes IMO. The Russians sustained heavy losses and the capital was besieged... Yet somehow they turned things around and became the superpower to challenge untouched America. I'm ready for brainless fools to pick at facts

Submit to the radical islamists immigrants demand's and handover your country. You don't want to appear intolerant because that's the worst thing in the 2010's.

3 RepliesI just want to say from an Americans standpoint that England is a superpower. Then again, I consider any non-3rd world country a superpower.

6 RepliesI think we are fine. The way our army works ensures that it is one of the best, size doesn't matter. Merging with Europe would be a nice move. The EU becoming move of a solid leading system. I'd love to see how the rest of the world view us though.

1 ReplyYou prostituted your own country to completely foreign, barbaric and morally bankrupt cultures to which the old Britain can no longer be recognised. You can't unless you stop the political correctness.

A superpower? Maybe. The superpower? No.

They could barely fight the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] off! They couldn't accomplish that today unless they used nukes. And guess what, Americas track record with the Brits gives us the outcome. Not to mention the last island to -blam!- with America from an ocean away got firebombed and some uranium infused freedom bombs. BRING IT CRUMPET BOYS!
