There is a total of 195 countries in the world. 193 are officially accepted while 2 countries are not i-e The Holy See and the state of the philistine. Every country has its own importance. Some are powerful while some are still fighting for their rights. Like in school that brilliant students have a reputation in class while backbenchers are always under the teacher’s radar. Exactly the same in this nuclear era, some countries are ruling the whole world. Because they have more power in terms of money (strong economic position), army, and a nuclear bomb. As you know when a country doesn’t have a strong status it suffers through lots of problems. On the other hand, powerful country rules over-dependent or unstable countries. I am not going on any debate that whether they are doing right or wrong with others. This is a list of the world’s most powerful countries.

And it is not compulsory to have the strongest military; the strongest nation is also a plus point.
8) Israel

They have good terms on both sides of the world whether with superpowers or withy other countries. They have the most educated population. They are not supposed to have the largest military-like US and china but Israel definitely has a well-designed and well-equipped military. It also has a nuclear power holder.

Saudi Arabia is a 1st most powerful Arab country. noteworthy, it also shows positive behavior towards foreigners and has good relations with the US and UK. meanwhile, people of those countries are allowed to come and work in their country. Similarly, they have good relations with some Islamic countries like Pakistan. therefore as compared to UAE, Saudi Arabia has a rigid culture but recently they did some amendments like a woman now allowed to drive.even more they also have a large military and huge expenditures.
10) United Arab Emirates
It is composed of seven emirates that are Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. Therefore, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are even better developed and designed according to the foreigner’s attraction. They have probably a more relaxed environment as compared to Saudi Arabia because many other country’s favorite destinations are Dubai.evenmore they have oil and natural gas resources. probably that is why and also because of foreign investment it is the wealthiest country. Furthermore, it is a member of a united nation and also a part of the gulf cooperation council. They have good international relations. They don’t have the biggest military, on the other hand, they are well equipped and imagine when seven emirates will act together they have the power to fight and survive.
Finishing Thoughts
These are the topmost powerful and influential countries. It is not compulsory that the list always remains the same and never changed. It might be changed with time. May be some countries replace other countries? However, as per reports, the top 5 order seems difficult to change. hence it seems like they will always rule over the world until and unless some country didn’t hit a high jump.
