Poland is now in the Western sphere of influence and it is not in decay. A weak case can be made for Ireland but it’s harder to extract effects of tax haven status. But Poland certainly. Going to be a higher income populace than the UK soon at this rate.

The US is unusual as a federation. Some parts decline, others rise. I think it’s resilient. And every time something goes wrong, America pulls out a magic new technology. We will see if R&D will carry the day again.

Polands fertility rate in 2025 was 1.1. It is some sort of dystopia allready for people.

The US is more in decay than Germany. Currently it becomes more and more a broken democracy. Cope is strong here.
