Top 10 Most Powerful Countries In The World, 2019 by Nobody: 6:30pm On Jun 17, 2019
The United States, as expected, has retained its spot as the most powerful country in the world in 2019. Considered to be the most powerful country, the U.S. has the world’s largest economy and biggest military budget, splashing over US$610 billion on military hardware and personnel in 2017. The country is also the leader in the so-called War on Terror.

The ranking is based on the influence of nation, political, economic and military power.

{ 2 } RUSSIA (Ranked 2nd out of 80 in 2018)

Russia is the world’s largest country by landmass – nearly twice as big as Canada, the world’s second-largest nation. Its economy is powered largely by natural resources – oil and gas. However, Russia also is one of the world’s largest exporters of military weapons, trailing only the United States. Its military might is the primary reason why Russia is the second most powerful country in the world.
