What Would You Guess Are The 12 Most Powerful Nations

[Theguy99]

In all aspects combined not just military, political or economic power

[Zacs-Master]

You’d have to define ‘all aspects’ as well as ‘most powerful’ for there to be any accurate answers.

USSR. USA.UK.Germany. France. Saudi Arabia.Spain. Italy. Australia.Canada. India. Pakistan.

I can’t be bothered trying to guess : below is an annual survey, just out. With the UK now below Germany, according to the authors.
There’s no definitive answer of course
Although surveys claim to take account of “soft power” there seems little evidence of that in the listing. For example Russia, with probably zero in that column, comes in at no 2.
