Document Summary
Traditional maps make countries look smaller (europe on traditional maps looks bigger than india when in fact it should not be represented like that. ) Size: use to be the most important thing. Population: to have a large army you need a large population therefore it can be a good measure. Gdp per capita: measure that is used often. Healthcare is important when looking at individual states, how they take care of their population is important. Education is also important because you need highly trained people to succeed. Power: all about the wellbeing of your citizens in various aspects of their lives. Innovation is important because technology can change the world. Life of a swedish citizen is a lot better than most countries in the world (mostly free education, fantastic benefits and healthcare). Sweden gdp is also high, however they do not have the people to have a strong army. Military advantage (key advantage, overwhelmingly stronger than everyone else)
