You basically listed GPD rankings, just put Russia in there where it just doesn't belong. The country is economically ruined, the people are poor and so on. They're not influential at all, though one must say they do have natural riches. But their time is not on, yet.

Finland at number 10? It's only very small.

And it's UK not England. Damn, does no one ever get that right?

His list is hilarious. Singapore? It's only one frigging city! ~4 million people.

The UK only at #7?

And Finland has got to be a joke. 5 million inhabitants, IIRC. Military expenditures of less than 2 billion dollars per annum.

Well, to be honest I don't know what the English think of tzhe French nowadays, but I thought it was some kind of American stereotype that France would be hated although it actually wasn't or something like that...

Maybe Cuba has ambitions to conquer the Carribean islands, and create a unified, Carribean empire.

Of course, the United States would put a stop to that.

Budget may be small.. but the quality of men is high. It's all on your mind, we're actually many times more than 5 million, don't buy that cia fact book crap!
Plus, when you take the batteries away from high-tech armies, they're disabled .

Jaguar Warrior: Do you even know the difference between GDP and GNP? You're only like, what, 13?

	28-04-2002 03:06									#77
	Suffering from ads?

I think I know the difference. GDP is gross domestic product, while GNP is gross national product.
The gross national product is the value of all the services/items produced by the country in the year.
The gross domestic product includes stuff made by that country's companies abroad as well.

Right?
