The empire is gone and we no longer rule the waves. But Britain is once again the most powerful nation on earth, according to a new survey, when it comes to "soft power". From Danny Boyle's inspiring Olympic opening ceremony, to 22 No 1 albums overseas, to Andy Murray's long hoped-for first Grand Slam title, Britain projects more positive influence around the world than any other nation.
For the first time, Britain has beaten the US to the top spot in an annual survey of global soft power. Coined by a Harvard academic in 1990, the term describes how countries use attraction and persuasion, rather than coercion or payment, to change behaviour.
Monocle magazine's annual "Global Soft Power" survey, published tomorrow, ranks nations according to their standard of government; diplomatic infrastructure; cultural output; capacity for education; and appeal to business.
The top five spots went to Britain, the US, Germany, France and Sweden. The list is calculated using a matrix of 50 factors that indicate the use of soft power. Some are empirical – such as the number of cultural missions, Olympic medals and foreign students a country can claim; others are more subjective – with countries ranked for the quality of their cuisine, architecture and business brands.
Tyler Brûlé, Monocle's editor-in-chief, said yesterday: "We're in a time, right now, where, more than ever, it's not particularly fashionable to go out and write massive cheques to get your way in the world. Armed conflict has never been less fashionable, and if you're able to effect change because you present yourself as an attractive nation to befriend and engage with, that can only be positive. It's about the rules of attraction and what makes a nation the most attractive in the room."

enough to be recognized and receive benefits from from my tribe. when we finally win our lawsuit against the government then i'll even get a payout. Right now the question is, "How much money will the US government remit to me as per their legal an binding treaty with my tribe."
you know how the US government had a history of signing treaties with indians, and then ignoring, or not honoring the agreement?
right, we still haven't forgot about that.
so here's what happened, my tribe got this land that was set up by the white man. the white man said, here, this is your land. make a sovereign nation here. and then later they found vast mineral reserves under the reservation, and the white man said, uh, wait a minute.
the white man said ok the indians own the land, but the white man controls the money derived from mining and oil drilling.
The white man set up a trust to hold the money for the indians. the white man said we needed them to handle our money, or we would waste it all away.
The white man then, of course, like white men do, stole all the money from the trust leaving it completely empty today.
The white man stole billions of dollars from that trust, and the tribe began legal proceedings a few years back.
apparently it's going well. the white man is now fighting the losing battle, and will have to settle themselves.

That's generally 1/8 or 1/4, then; probably 1/4 or more.
I don't know how it is in America, but Canada's pretty inconsistent with natives, and it doesn't help that people abuse the benefits that are in place. The ditziest girl at one of my old high schools gets to go to uni for free because her father lied about how much native blood he has in order for her to receive those benefits. Just kinda pisses me off.
On the other hand, we don't exactly have a great track record with residential schools and cutoff lands. It's all just kinda weird with natives.

I am less than 10%, which isn't unusual. If it were 1/4 to be recognized by the tribe there would be, like, 100 indians or less. But you have to prove lineage, which is a snap, because my family was around when mineral rights and land were allotted and are among the original signers. So not everyone can vote or receive benefits. Gotta show the paper trail.

Canadians had this to say for forking out $7.5 million to mark QEII 60-year-reign.

Well you must admit via history that back when the Kingdom was raiding the Planet for resources from many many another part of the planet it was more powerhouse.
Now that its just an Island with Ireland and Falklands its not so much.
And keep in mind USA ain't exactly is top notch shape either. When I take pokes at n make fun of Englands hammer to Falklands - the same goes for USA and abuse of Native Americans as well as maybe Hawaii ain't exactly a proper use of land grabs way back when.

I always thought the power structure was Israel most powerful, USA second. I'm not sure what's after that. China is trying to catch up but a lot of countries are powerful. Israel and USA just meddle in the affairs of everyone, though Israel likes to use America as a proxy so it's the USA doing it all.
