@Prototype27F@Ome_n2h id agree and leave korea on major regionals, because part of its influence and its alliances are banked on its /geographical/ importance which is heavily region-based
@Prototype27F as for japan i would be curious whether it still is a great power atp. if it is its definitely a falling major power, imo. did you factor in its G7 membership as a reason why its a great power or assess its other assets before determining its status?
@Prototype27F im south korean myself and i agree that korea should be moved down a peg. its not at the level of a great power (in influence) moreso that it has insane geographical strategic value. im curious about your standards re: being a great power, tbh.
@seqCharm@rutvisayss economic power and military, tech, soft power are not one on one translations with one another. japan is a shit example bc they have a powerful military /but/ korea is a smaller economy and has a stronger military. context matters, nuance is important
(6/?) or influence, and you should assess it by social (soft power) / military (hard) / economic (hard). ultimately the problem is the lack of description and the vagueness of category, rather than shoving a bunch of random countries up your maw. tootles
in what world did japan and india become a great power what even is your standard for a great power? korea and canada and new zealand and spain as a major /regional/ power? bro WHAT IS YOUR STANDARD???? WHY DID YOU SEPARATE REGIONAL MILITARY POWER TOO WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
(5/?) darn i got caught in the tierlist trap. anyway this chart is. not good. its not good at all. recommendation for next time is to not use a hodgepodge of random ass countries, but to lock it via region to make assessing way easier. context matters for regional superiority
(4/?) how these military alliances influence relationships between nations etc. ok the general point i want to get at is that india being a great power is absurd. id also put the uk as a great power as up for debate. france idk but germany is definitely a great power.
(3/?) ultimately, the question of how we categorize what truly makes a country influential is still in heavy debate. you havent even factored soft power into this equation, nor did it factor in alliances, how these alliances contribute to military power,
(2/?) military power cannot be put into neat little categories - ukraine and iran proves that quite thoroughly. economic power can change too. japan is experiencing a historic low yen exchange rate. not only that SK recently had a KOSPI drop at around 200 points
(1/?) the group of countries used here is absurd, im guessing the regional power > military > economic but like, the military and the economy are not one to one contributions to one another. see: japan, see: saudi arabia. with drone technology becoming the major norm
