The author thinks that in the eyes of foreign policy experts, the United States is a "top country"; But economically, perhaps Denmark is the "top country".

The satirical British history book "166 And All That" explains that history came to an end after World War I, and since then, the United States has replaced England as the "Top Nation" in the world.

in my recent trip to konigslist winter (k? At a meeting attended by nigswinter, the concept of "top country" was an important agenda. Participants focused on the competition between China and the United States to become the "top country" in the 21st century. However, when the simultaneous meeting debated the future of the EU, I found that there was a potential debate between two different world views. In the eyes of foreign policy experts, the United States is a "top country"; But economically, perhaps Denmark is the "top country".

In The 166 Piles, a "top country" is defined according to a country's ability to manipulate others. The British Empire is an example of a "top country". It has a territory where the sun never sets, but Queen Victoria, who has never been to India, is the queen of India.

But Denmark has lost interest in manipulating others. In the past two centuries, the Kingdom of Denmark has successively lost Norway, Schleswig-Holstein and Iceland, and before long, the resource-rich Greenland is likely to seek independence. Nobody cares too much. Denmark is a small country with harmonious society and very rich. In the international happiness index survey, Denmark usually ranks first or in the top few.

Of course, Denmark is also quite boring. Michael? In his book The Almost Nearly Perfect People, Michael Booth described the "Jante Law"-that is, the absolute consistency and self-satisfaction in the small town of the country where he joined the nationality. However, after the European continent was torn apart by two disastrous wars that now seem remote and absurd in the last century (a section of scenery that passed by on the way to a meeting in Konigslist Winter still bears the scars of the Berlin Battle in 1945, which makes people feel unreal), most Europeans think that boredom is a good thing.

The British once had Norman? Angell's "The Great Illusion": In his book written in 199, the Englishman, who was a journalist and a member of the Labour Party, refuted the fallacy that prosperity is the product of aggressive control over territory and resources-now we all know this is a fallacy. On the contrary, Denmark's wealth is based on exporting bacon (bacon, editor's note) and diabetes control drugs to the world (this is an appropriate combination). Today, this international participation is enough for most Europeans. To some extent, last year's Scottish independence referendum was a choice between a "top country" in political concept and a "top country" in economic concept. Do Scots want to renew Britain's Trident nuclear submarine (a contemporary version of Britannia's powerless claim to rule the ocean), or would they rather be a country like Denmark?

As some aspects of the debate on Soviet independence show, complacency and insularity may go too far. In the 197s, Mogens? The Progress Party, led by Glistrup, has become the second largest political party in the Danish Parliament. It once proposed to replace Denmark's national defense forces with Russian recordings of "We surrender". Switzerland is another candidate for "top country" in the economic sense. For centuries, it has successfully maintained a slightly tougher principle-"I won't commit crimes unless people attack me". When Glistrup tried to declare Denmark a non-Muslim area, he went too far. However, in the recent election, the Danish People's Party, which was separated from the Progressive Party, won more than 2% of the votes.

Some economists have different views on "top countries": Has China surpassed the United States in terms of gross domestic product? Will India's rapidly expanding population and economic growth eventually make it the country with the highest GDP in the world? But I have never understood the significance of this kind of competition, except that it can help us understand what resources can be used to support the military version of "top countries." And it seems that this kind of competition is not what India (or Denmark) wants to join. Not only for Indians and Danes, but also for the whole world.
