Since
World War II, the United States has often been placed No. 1 in world
rankings of various kinds. With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991,
the United States was often referred to as the sole remaining
superpower. As the twenty-first century proceeds, however, the position
of the United States at the top of the rankings is being questioned.
What
considerations, measures, and weightings do you think should be used in
devising such rankings? Use your method to devise a ranking of the top
three political states in a century of your choice before the twentieth,
and suggest a likely ranking by the end of the twenty-first century.
