The most lucrative investment banking division

[Shane H Norman1]

Some good points but what I really meant was specific to those 2 countries only, in today’s world. Ceteris paribus, whoever has more land can produce more, that’s all I wanted to point out (higher limits). Switzerland is also a very advanced economy, but due to its tiny size, will never be a world power.

Perhaps, greater size - in terms of both land area and population - predicates greater power because of the ability to raise a bigger army?

Sure, although my argument was specific to land area with population being equal. Military power doesn’t equal economic power but surely from economic power usually comes great military capability (see USA).
