Catan-izing the old world vs new world nation state network alliances with guns and butter pattern language + naval resources for trade. Thoughts?

1. USA: Emperor/empire, Arms (nukes), Butter (oil and grain) the most of all

2. UK: master of the seas Atlantic, former master of finance (tradfi)

3. Canada: master of natural resources, ore, etc, held in preserve in case of war or supply issues - in the good times, all preserved in the name of “green”, but actually preserved for security

4. Japan: master of the seas Pacific (indebted after WWII to Emperor even with Marshall plan)

5. Germany: master of manufacturing (indebted after WWII to Emperor even with Marshall plan, probably mad about Nordstream)

6. France: master of culture and industrial spycraft

7. Italy: master of the seas Mediterranean (indebted after WWII to Emperor even with Marshall plan)

BRICS

1. China: Emperor, Arms, not enough butter - yet.

2. Brazil: butter and then some

3. South Africa: master of the seas, Indian and Atlantic? Watch for build out of navy + some butter

4. India: master of tech, and Indian Ocean seas - watch for buildout of navy

5. Russia: Nukes, some arms when not engaged, lots of oil butter, some grain (butter).

SAfrica is strategically located, but does it have the tax base to build out a Navy?

S Africa is the only country which was nuclear and gave up the program. I am unsure of the reasons, but it seems significant.

indeed - and will it see a resurgence in a novel alliance? Alliances are often built out of desperation.

I am sure it will, but I am equally unsure that the alliances will be in the interests of western civilization.
