Seems the US is in decline as well then. Don't think so. Still can't quite see "Europe" listed as a country, but you seem to be referring to Germany. Would make sense that the US, a country 25 times the size of Germany, would be higher in the list.

Not sure how they justify having a military spend bigger than all other countries put together though...

In reply to your comment:
“The byproduct of drunksifting usually produces a few errors as I'm all fired up & stuff, but for the most part, what I say holds true.

"They have positive growth rate" I was referring to birthrate: global birthrate. The main countries with positive growth are African & Arab. You need to have a 20.00 to even sustain sustain a population, Europeans are all in a decline. Why reproduce when there's less pressing matters to attend to? Such as... ummm... gondolas?

Oh my bad, European military might pops in at #19 on the list

Europe's welfare system is supported by Europeans, not illegal immigrants. Roughly 30% of France is now Muslims. With a low "citizen" birthrate, who will pay for the aging Frenchmen? Sounds bulbous to me. Is that the right word? Probably not, but I do like it. Bulbous:)
