Improving the map: Minor & Major regional powers
The current map does not reflect the more-recent additions of what analysts consider powers in sub-regions or "minor regional powers". Perhaps it would be good to use a different color to depict them in the map. I honestly doubt this would get out of hand. Regards.--MarshalN20 | Talk 20:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do; is there any request for the colours? (eg; dark blue for the 'regions' and lighter blue for the 'sub-regions' or keep the teal colour scheme we've had for a while and use a lighter teal?) Comics (talk) 04:38, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- The color you like the best would be perfect. Once complete (and as more "minor regional powers" are added), I am sure that the map will display a much more intriguing regional power system (which is how it is in reality). Regards.--MarshalN20 | Talk 04:51, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the improved map Comics. It reflects the South American situation really well at this time. The only one I am a bit unsure about is Chile. It certainly was a power during the mid-to-late Pinochet years, but then they spent most of the 90's trying to gain back democratic stability. Recently, they've been spending plenty on armament and seem to be back on track (obviously, its economy is great). Regards.--MarshalN20 | Talk 13:47, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Spain is included in the list of powers, but it is not colored in the map. Looks like the map or the list needs an update- just fyi. Jeffhoy (talk) 12:32, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Delete current regional powers
Just erase this section and mention nothing about what the current status of any existing country is. If need be we can cite historical examples. Hcobb (talk) 17:52, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
- The information is valuable, even if controversial. Deleting it from here will not make it disappear from reality.--MarshalN20 | Talk 22:27, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Why do people delete the region "Eurasia" and Why are Russia And Turkey within the region "Europe" now? Russia and Turkey are partially in europe and Asia but they are not European Countries 100% and for example they have not influence on the EU. It was more correct before in my view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barjimoa (talk • contribs) 18:04, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- Turkey and Russia certainly have influence in the EU, even if they are not a part of it.--MarshalN20 Talk 20:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Okay, no problems about it. Russia is a transcontinental country, they have influence not in one specific region but in parts of different regions (E.G. Eurasian Union). Turkey has far more influence in the middle east than in Europe, this is pretty obvious. However i think that for these reasons the "region" Eurasia is a right choise. So i support this version too.User:Barjimoa. — Preceding undated comment added 13:22, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Canada is a Regional Power, not just a Middle Power
Canada is a country with a seat on the G8. It has a population larger than some of the countries on this list, a larger military, and a larger reserve of natural resources. If Australia is on this list, Canada should be as well-it surpasses Australia in these respects.

- Despite its size, Canada is not a regional power due to being overshadowed by the United States. Australia is in a much smaller pond, by comparison, and sets the agenda in a sizable part of the world, populated with small countries. This makes Australia a regional power, as it exerts dear substantial influence in a regional, while Canada does not and is not a regional power. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.248.174.29 (talk) 03:50, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Canada is not a regional power because, as the joke goes, "it doesn't have a region." The claim that this is because the US overshadows Canada is untrue. The US also overshadows Mexico, arguably much more than it does Canada, and yet Mexico's foreign policy effectively makes it a power across various regions (Caribbean, Central America, and Latin America). Canada's foreign policy does not seek to establish the state as a power over any other country.--MarshalN20 Talk 14:09, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
I agree with @Marshall. Canada does not have a region in which exercise its influence even if it is a great industrial power due its G7 membership. User:Barjimoa — Preceding undated comment added 07:55, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Egypt and Indonesia are transcontinental states
Egypt and Indonesia belong to the section transcontinental regional powers.--141.19.228.15 (talk) 13:29, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Why should they? Do you have a reliable source to support your assertion? This is the first time I have heard Egypt or Indonesia transcend more than one continent. Antiochus the Great (talk) 13:42, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Egypt and Indonesia are transcontinental countries: Egypt lies partly in Asia and Indonesia lies partly Oceania.--141.19.228.15 (talk) 11:25, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
