Characteristics of a Global Superpower

When we think of global superpowers, we think of countries like the United States or China. However, we never really stop to think about the reasons behind why they are the first countries that come to our mind when we think of a global superpower. I believe that that are eight things that make a country a superpower. Firstly, the country should be a developed country with solid infrastructure. The country should also have a good economy within the country where good exporting is taking place. Thirdly, the country should also have a high literacy rate amongst it's population. The country should also have an almost even distribution between the number of working people and number of retired individuals. It should also have major corporations or groups, such as the UN or Greenpeace, that has been founded there. The environment should be an environment where equality is present. The country should not have had major wars in the last couple of decades. Lastly, the country should have a strong government system where the people of the country mostly agree with the decisions made by the government.
