Japan ranked first globally, closely followed by Singapore with South Korea and Germany jointly holding the third position.

  1. Fulani caliphate called Nigeria has fallen and gone forever- it is Yugoslavia of Africa in which the six geopolitical zones are sovereign states.

    Natives of the six geopolitical zones under interim governments of their sovereign states, must sign agreements with Southern Countries Union member states now for military assistance, cooperation, relations to defend territorial borders of their sovereign states, fix their lands and economies or suffer. Southern Countries Union which comprises Asia, Africa, South America and parts of Europe led by Russia representing Europe, China, India, Japan, Indonesia, Iran representing Asia, Brazil, Mexico representing South America, Egypt, South Africa representing Africa.

    America, Britain, France, Anglo-America UN, EU fought for fulani criminals from Guinea to keep this territory natives under fulani rulership and lost. America, Britain France, Anglo-America UN, EU which uses fulani criminals from Guinea to steal wealth of this territory natives, kill this territory natives, destroy economic developments of this territory natives.

    We this territory natives of Disintegrated Republics exist under Southern Countries Union, within Southern Defence Force, Southern Countries Union international market in this 21st century world of Multipolar international order with Multipolar international market.

    20th century world unilateral international order with unilateral international market of Anglo-America is dead. Anglo-America world power has fallen and gone forever. Anglo-America UN, Breton Woods financial system, WTO, IMF, World bank etc. are dead. The era Anglo-America with their slaves bullied countries of the world and stole wealth of many countries is over and gone forever.

    This is 21st century world of relations based on Mutual Principles.

    Any geopolitical zone which fail to establish interim government of their sovereign state now with military, police etc. to defend territorial borders of their sovereign state, fix their lands and economies, won’t survive this 2021. Only the Sword decides.
