Its capital, Washington D.C.

Though it has no official language, English and ...read more. I'm confident in the military and all its weapons, I feel as if they have more powerful weapon's especially in the air. And their navy destroys will play a big role if there is war. Save us
USA - economy would be like the great depression as the USA would spend all its money on war efforts - size of military; army, air force, navy equipment and build all factories needed to produce the war machine. Not that we don't have enough already. This event has already been planned and prepared, tie that to experience in war and no one could beat us on their best day. We may struggle in the beginning because of all the different war fronts but we will out fight, overpower, and push back all enemies until they lose or surrender one or two at a time. Wake up people! USA #1.
USA will win because they have the biggest budget for their Molloy wry and stuff, and China doesn't pose a threat as you'd think becaude it's 1,500$ to equip a Chinese soldier (and half goes to his/hers rifle) and it takes more then ten times that amount to equip an American soldier. Plus, most of the soldiers China says they are training are college students doing mandatory military training, and they usually don't end up joining the army. Plus, there military actually belongs to the communist party of China, not China itself, for some odd reason, and there isn't any joint operations between China's army and Navy (at least no proof other then China saying there is and pictures of generals and admirals standing together, although I highly doubt that.)
The United States currently has the most Powerful military on the planet, and is on pace to stay that way for many years to come. We have the infrastructure and industrial base to support a big war. We have 10 of the largest aircraft carriers, more than all other counties combined. Even if China has more manpower. The United States have a more technological superior military. Not to mention better allies, and if it comes down to it. The second largest nuclear arsenal
2 China
China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of more than 1.4 billion.

The country consists of 23 provinces, five autonomous regions, four municipalities, and two Special Administrative Regions (Hong Kong and Macau). The national capital is Beijing, and the most populous city and financial center is Shanghai. Chinese (Mandarin) is the only official ...read more. China will probably ally themselves with Russia in world war three. And I think China can win. Because China won in the Korean war when China only had numbers of people. And basically no weapons. The Chinese only had a very few guns during the first time of the war. The other guns were captured after they hit back the United States. Now we also have bombs and planes and ships and whatnot. So probably we can win. But who knows, maybe we will ally with the United States because world war three will be against. Something, and maybe China and the United States will both stand against them. .
I think it depends on when this war takes place, but even in the near future, probably China because of population/army size and modern weaponary. Stalin won against Germany (the turning point of WW2) despite huge losses, so China will win, even against US with a much higher casualty. US couldn't even 'win' in the Korean war when China was much weaker and only had numbers. Let's not also forget what some insane nationalistic Asians can do all for 'pride'.
Economy is still rising, Millions of soldiers, Great Weapons, and Great Technology. Oh by the way I'm Australian, but I think China will destroy USA, Russia, United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany, India, Turkey and North & South Korea.
China would most likely ally itself with Russia, Iran, Palestine, Venezuela, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Zimbabwe, Congo, Iraq, Syria, South Korea, Israel, Turkey and Lybia. Which gives them advantage.

They have lots of manpower and have quite trecherous terrain, this means it would be hard for enemies to enter, their residents however, have a good knowledge of it and, if they join the military, they can easily capture neigbouring area.
Secrets are always secrets in this country. Everyone knows that even Indians comprise of almost 50 % of Indians. Allt the top level officials are Indians. And most of the military equipments were found by Indians in their country. So does any one doubt India's capabilities even now?
India would definitely be the winner because
It has got the worlds 2nd largest army, 5th largest air force and 6th largest air force.
During times of war, as far as I know
RussiaN'S would definitely help the Indian'S so will many other countries.
If they are in the war, they will probably join the allies. We are helping them. Why would any one fight us for helping them? I mean, are missionaries are making baskets of food and clothes to send over there.

USA or Russia would win if they are teamed up I will be glad.
The second strongest nation, but with ally like china and many west allies like turkey, india could probably join to russian side of conflict.
They US as and opponent has too many enemies across the world.
And Russia can survive thanks to size. If you nuke US and RU at the same size area the RU is still with 50% of area.
Mother Russia will win the war. We will liberate all countries that are enslaved and defeat bloody capitalism. FOR MOTHER Russia!
They will be with China (Russian technology + Chinese money = Megapower), and can nuke everyone.
They will also be nuked, but have more land.

Further it is allied with China and she (China) has pledged full support to Pakistan in any war. Moreover all Islamic countries support her (Pakistan).

25 Venezuela
Venezuela, officially the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is a federal republic located on the northern coast of South America. This is a tough choice between Venezuela and Norway. Anyway, Imagine the following scenario: The USA, Russia, China, Iran, most of the Middle East, Japan, The UK, most of western Europe, and Korea all fight and kill each other. In doing so, most of the oil supplies of the Arabian countries get destroyed or consumed. This leaves Venezuela and Norway, who are both clever enough to not get involved in the fighting, sitting on something like 40% of the worlds remaining oil reserves each, leaving all the 'superpowers' no choice but to kiss their asses to get it.
The UK might be alright with North Sea oil from Scotland, but countries like the US, Japan, China etc produce a fraction of what they consume.
