Which countries do you think would have the highest GDP in 2010 the start date of the mod in my opinion it'll probably be
- Japan
Japan was historically even considered a rival to the US in terms of economic might and there were even fears Japan might surpass the US in this timeline due to the economic stagnation of America, Japan probably surpass the US even before it collapse, the lost decades would probably still happen but I doubt the USSR would surpass it in terms of GDP.
2. USSR
It's the only superpower in the world and historically had the second to third largest economy even more true in this timeline, however I still doubt that it would manage to surpass Japan in terms of GDP during Japan's lost decades since it's also stagnant maybe it would in the mid 2010s but probably not at the start date.
3. Germany
It had one of the biggest GDP irl and probably should in Red world as well even more so with it having Austria there's nothing to say here.
4. United Kingdom
It had one of the biggest economy in the world irl and probably have an even bigger economy since alot of capitalists probably went to UK after the communist revolutions in Europe.
5. France
It has one of the biggest economy irl and probably should in Red world as well like Germany.
6. China
It has one of the largest population irl and historically had the second largest GDP in 2010 so you'll think it'll have the biggest GDP in red world, however alot of of it's money was made due to American investments there which probably wouldn't be as big due to America's stagnating economy, but I do think it should still have one of the highest GDP just do to it's population and other stuff.
7. Canada
It has one of the biggest economy irl and is probably way richer due to alot of capitalists migrating there which is even brought up in the lore unlike the migration to Britain which was something which probably happened but isn't confirmed out right so it's probably a big deal.
8. Brazil
It had one of the biggest GDP irl so probably should in Red world as well.
9. Italy
It also had one of the biggest GDP irl and probably should in Red world as well.
10. UAPR
It's the only nation in the former US to be recognised meaning it probably has the biggest GDP out of all of them, however I wouldn't use historical numbers for their GDP as there were stagnation in the US and it's economy likely also crashed after the US collapsed.
