A hyperpower is a country that is more powerful than every other country in every aspect on Earth. It is more powerful than a superpower.
The United Kingdom was the only Hyperpower due to dominating the world via the Royal Navy and it's economy. Plus had vast influence in its 'informal empire'.
The United States as a nation is widely considered to be a hyperpower by some after the Cold War because without competition it was the only superpower after the collapse of the Soviet Union. People also believe the United States has had a big influence in politics, science, culture and military. It also influenced the balance of power and made a new world order.
Some say that the United States is still a hyperpower because it is the only uncontested superpower (some say that China is/will be a superpower and some say it isn't/will not).[1]
According to the Asia Power Index 2020, the United States still has the lead on the military capacity, cultural influence, resilience and defense networks, but falls behind China in economic and future resources, economic relationships and diplomatic influence. This index ranks power and influence only in Asia Pacific.[2]
The United States is still (as of 2024) the top country on military capability, though not on size of its military.
