    Default The Empire Strikes Back - UK most powerful nation on Earth

    Britain is now most powerful nation on earth

    US toppled from No 1 slot as British influence enhances its 'soft power'

    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.

    This is like The New Yorker calling the US the most powerful. If some news group other than your UK based one wrote this maybe I would believe it more
