    My opinion!!

    According to my poor understading and knowledge, i choose those countries below!
    America. Strongest economics and military power , huge land, highest technology development. good culture outcome, competitive socitety! agreesive.( this one does not sound so nice, but personally i think it is very important for a country!) . and so on... my friends you can add more....
    Britain. stong econimics as well. high technology development. Culture influence!!!! MOST IMPORTANT ONE FOR BRITAIN. although britain itself is not big, but it has new zealand,austrilia, south africa,and so on in its own system...highest level of financial operation cross the world! many others...
    China. western people always look at china in a coloured glasses. biggest population, fastest economics growth (some of the figures is fake), but if you go to china, you still could feel. huge land as well. strong culture infuence as well in asia! Like an american reasercher said, do not worry too much about china's growing. It just gets back to the position where it has been in the past 2000 years before industral revolution. However, huge gap between poor and rich is so dangerous for it!
    Russia. I do not know whether there will be many people disagree becasue nowdays russian power is getting down and down, GDP is about 1/50 of america.
    big gap between poor and rich as well! But, it has got the high tech of weapon making as well. Not worse than America at all! It has got oil!! it has got many minerals undergroud and some of them are the biggest stock in the world. Biggest land!! from western to eastern. Very big big potential power! BUT one thing could kill , is the low birth rate and small population for such a big land....
    next one i can not give a exact answer, all guys could choose on of the followings, France, Japan, India, Brazil...
    Just my silly idea, if make anyone here unhappy, just say sorry to you!! :) :)

      What's the difference between people who pray in church and those who pray in casinos?
      The ones in the casinos are serious.

            The five biggest gunrunners on the planet. Not saying that is neccesarily good or bad, just ironic given the hue and cry amongst many at the UN regarding the proliferation of light arms and conventional weapons

            Getting back to the original question of the thread, one might make the argument that the United States is not as influential as it might first appear.

            The US, at least under the Bush Administration, seems to have a problem influencing the course of events in several key geographical and policy areas.

            When considering the World as a whole, I would, when considered in a policy relevant time frame, nominate the CIS, Iran, Qatar and possibly Saudi Arabia as being pretty darned influential.

                This is hilarious. The reason I didn't say which nations I thought were the 5 was because I thought people would think I'm stupid or something. My five nations are the USA, UK, France, China, and Russia. Ah, such is life.

                    I think Saudi Arabia is the only influential nation in the world.

                    It influences the fate of the world!

                    And nobody can to a damn to it!

                      However, Saudi Arabia reminds me of this:



                      When the body was first made, all the parts of the body wanted to be the boss. Brain said, "I'm the boss, as I control everything." Feet said, "I'm the boss, as I'm in charge of movement." Hands said, "We must be the boss, we do all the work and earn the money." And so it went on. Heart, lungs, eyes until finally Ars*h*le spoke up. All the other parts of the body laughed at the idea of ******** being boss. So, ******** went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work. Within a short time:- Brain became fevered Eyes became crossed Hands clenched Feet twitched Heart & Lungs were both struggling So they eventually voted that ******** should be the boss. The motion was passed. All other parts of the body do the work, while ********, as boss just sits there giving out a load of ****.

                      The moral of the story is:- You don't need to be a brain to be boss..... Just an Ars*hol*.

                          After the Saudi Arabian petroleum reserves run out, that country will become nearly worthless. Its only other value is as the site of Mecca and Medina, holy cities of Islam.

                            Well in Asia the influenced countries are China, Japan and Saudi Arabia. In Americas there is only one "BIG DADDY" United States. In Europe there are France, Britain and Germany. Then there is Russia. And in Australasia, there is Australia, well there is no influenced country in Africa i think. What do you guys say?

                              France is not one of the five most influential countries.
