      I suspect when you possess enough Nukes to kill most every living thing on the planet and the rankings were based on firepower, well...

        I kept reading “PwrIndx” as “Pwnd!” 😬

        Too many years of foruming.

        Also, would be interesting to read rankings by conventional military strength.

          That is a good point. I did not think of that!!

              I forget when exactly, but there was a time when there were 5 or 6 aircraft carriers all in town here at the same time.

              That probably would have put Virginia somewhere in the middle of that list.
