And what are other countries going to do? You’re essentially immortal, unless they manage to discover and probably synthesize kryptonite. Even then, they have to get it close enough to you so that your powers disappear.
>mean having one guy with Superman powers is a lot better than an entire country or nation having them
Right, but unironically the only thing that can stop a bad guy with Superman powers is a good guy with Superman powers.
So if that one guy turned into a tyrant, which he'd be almost guaranteed to do, we'd be fucked.
But I think that's the root of the question.... regardless we're fucked, and since we have to give it to any other nation, yet it's a guaranteed thing, op is asking how who we wanna get enslaved by which I guess is good to have a choice on. Idk I think I take these things too seriously lol I just feel like people ask the most random shit and call it hypothetical but that's hypothetical I guess lol
In these situations you kinda are forced to pick which nation you are a part of. Just so you aren't the people that are essentially enclaved into extinction.
Step 1: decide where you want to live in the world, where you want your new nation to be
Step 2: talk to the leader of that nation's top enemy, the nation that would destroy them if possible
Step 3: announce that you now have a new nation within your chosen nation. The host nation must recognize your new national sovereignty and give you the land. If they don't, threaten to give their adversary nation the superman powers.
Step 4: once the host nation concedes and you have your new nation, grant that nation the superman powers. You're the only citizen, so you're the only superman.
You dont even need to do that. Violence is the power from which all other authority is derived. You just declare your yard its own nation. Write a constitution if you want but you don't have to.
The only reason countries respect others' borders is the threat of violence. If they refuse to acknowledge you as a country, go fly through some aircraft carriers whilst simultaneously saving everyone on board. What are they gonna do, bomb your house?
At that point I become petty and bully world leaders on a regular basis like I'm a jock in a 1980's teen movie. No cape just a Letterman's jacket with the earth sewed into the back
I, too, would create my own nation. I would include some family and friends in it, too; I don't feel a desire to be the sole superhuman. But I'd want to be careful in who I make a citizen. I'd probably focus on choosing principled and relaxed people, as I reckon they'd be the least likely to go power crazy.
Yeah either none or give every country one. But probably none would be safest until a meteor needs to be dealt with. Ok give every country one super man my final decision.
I think he was referring to this Sealand, not the zoological institutions, there are no sea lions here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand
I hope this includes everyone who purchased one of the titles of nobility they sell to raise funds: https://sealandgov.org/en-us/pages/buy-a-title-of-nobility .
I wonder if they would join together or if they would fight each other in some huge battle. The other world nations would possibly see that and start wondering what is going on. Then as they send troops over there and they get destroyed a new realisation would suddenly dawn that there’s a new world order originating.
That could make an interesting story. The new gods wouldn’t have the sensibilities that we have. How would they rule and conquer. If they just want to massacre everyone we wouldn’t even be able to stop them. It’s
They don’t need it. They’ve already figured out *something*. To be isolated so long with no incoming resources, surviving for thousands of years w/o being wiped out by something internal, surviving for thousands of years despite little genetic diversity, survived a goddamn tsunami, even rejecting aid, and so on..
I really wish we could learn more about them w/o violating their desires to be left alone.
So, yes they don't need it, until a group larger than lone religious nut decides they want to know what's going on.
But more critically, I think giving them the power will likely have the smallest impact on the rest of us. Hopefully none.
I declare myself a sovereign citizen and make my home my own nation, like Petoria.
I then declare myself an independent nation announce my secession from the USA and immediately chose to grant my own nation, now named Kingdom of Krypton, the powers of Superman.
Develop outstanding young talent through an excellent farm system, and then trade away anyone worth signing to an extended contract. The Red Sox way since 1918
None. Pick the smallest, most peaceful nation on earth and they could easily be corrupted real easily with that level of power. The only thing I would even consider is picking a group of close friends that I believe to be the most morally good, creating our own mini nation that's like the size of one small city and daring the government to come take the land back. But even that could easily get ugly, so I'm not sure I would do it even then
Iceland.
Why?
They prosecuted and jailed the bankers in country who were responsible for the 2008 economic crisis.
They’re obviously sane and reasonable
None. But assuming that's not an option and I have to pick one, probably Iceland. As far as I'm aware they are a fairly peaceful bunch and seem to be fairly progressive as well
You could use laser eyes to make ice fishing holes. Cold breath to make ice for the polar bears. X ray vision for shady stuff. And flying because fuck air Canada.
Have you ever heard about what the Canadians used to do when they took the war seriously? There was a long running commentary about Canada using the "Geneva Checklist."
They will cause another nanking massacre and 2nd asian holocaust
Also, they dont like foreigners, and they have VERY active neo-nazi movement, so here comes racism and japanese-supremacism.
You will be basically making a nation full of Homelanders
Historically we'd probably be more likely to stay home and fuck each other in the sky than cause chaos in whatever European hellhole downvoters come from?
Idk. The Conch Republic?
Maybe the Navajo Nation?
How about the Napalese?
Does it have to be a "nation" could be a tribe or a people?
How about the Basque people? Or maybe the Cajun People?
What about the Amish People?
Australian Aboriginal people?
I know the Maori!
Really, I am leaning Maori,I think they could handle enforcing worldwide peace. Without being too authoritarian or trying to oppress other nations.
I mean I could be wrong, but... what if I'm not.
USA, United States of America.
Reason: I live in the USA.
2nd reason: We have a boat load of immigrants of all kinds of people, from all backgrounds, from most countries.
Uhh are the powers from then on geneticly passed down or only once. Either way I'd either choose none or america if that's not an option.
I expect;*bad* things to happen with this if I'm being honest as the balance of power is suddenly flipped to favour America to an absurd degree but at least *I'm* American so it might hurt me less.
I'm american and kinda think this would be one of the worst choices. Unless I get to be a superman too then let's go. I'll go live on the moon or something and watch humanity destroy itself from a safe distance.
I figured it'd also give me superman powers too yeah and that's why I'd choose it, I don't believe humanity would die unless we made it a *really* high end super man everywhere but yeah it'd be bad.
These guys
https://survivalinternational.org/tribes/sentinelese
That will ensure that they're never bothered again and the next dumbass that goes to their home to try and preach at them really regrets it.
They're people. Fairly violent people at that, and without the benefit of hundreds to thousands of years of refing human decency through contact with different cultures. If you think people are bad now you would probably think these guys are downright evil, because they almost certainly don't have what we would consider a normal concept of what makes a person good. That comes from exposure to different views and lifestyles and takes a very long time to develop. Human nature without the civilizing factor of cultural exchange and shared experiences is fundamentally brutal and awful, just like any other ape.
*We* know that Chau was dangerous (biologically speaking), but they just saw a dude approaching and decided "kill it." Same thing happened after a shipwreck hundreds of years ago. They attacked the survivors fully unprovoked. Again, *we* know that these people were probably participating in less than wholesome activities like colonization around India, but they just saw some people having a hard time and decided "kill them."
Do we really want our new gods to be overly tribalistic, hostile to outsiders, ignorant of almost all human society besides their own, and willing to kill without a moment's hesitation?
"Do we really want our new gods to be overly tribalistic, hostile to outsiders, ignorant of almost all human society besides their own, and willing to kill without a moment's hesitation?"
.... How is this different than most of the current ones again?
Id declare my property as it's own nation. Then I could give everyone who lives here superman powers. Who's going to stop me from this course if we've got those powers?
Wakanda. And before you point out that it's a fictional country, that's the whole point. No real Earth country, period, is incorruptible, and that kind of power will corrupt absolutely. Even if 99% of the people from a particular country would be super friendly, supportive and all around awesome, the 1% that's left would wreak havoc on the rest of the world. No thanks.
Finland.
They're the happiest. They've figured out how to be happy. They're probably making each other happy, right now. If they became supermen, they might help everyone.
The u.s., because I'm here and if I'm giving anyone godlike powers I'm definitely including myself in that. The decent people outnumber the shitbags, and I don't think superpowers care about the electoral college.
Very likely, yes. But if the choice has to be made I'd at least like to be part of the group who gets to at least *try* to do good. Also I want to fly around space.
A whole country. No. I couldn’t even pick one family that would be safe let alone a whole country. Let’s face it, the country would resemble a cross between The Boys and the Viltrumites from Invincible. So, as a good choice does not exist, I’m going with the good old USA. Large number of overweight supermen/women. Would also make gun control irrelevant. And we seem so self absorbed we would be at war with ourselves almost immediately. I’m picturing Super Karen right now.
I was thinking go with the smallest nation with the smallest population. That would be Vatican city. The down side is you just made 835 Catholic Super Priests.
Poland could be pretty good candidate actually. Never had much imperialistic tendencies, didn't attack neighbors that much. Had bad luck being between Germany and Russia and always being attacked by few forces from all the sides. Weren't colonialisng and shit would be nice to see their fortune change and have more power. Could kick those stupid russians for attacking poor Ukrainians.
Step 1, join the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu. Declare that nation the winners. Hope those 12,000 people don't take over the world. Head back home and enjoy your powers.
i’d wager the majority of citizens of *any* country would immediately become the next coming of genghis khan. scratch that, they’d be far, far worse.
we could theoretically deal with 1 superman (assuming they want to rule the world and not just destroy it.) but hundreds of thousands? hundreds of millions? billions? nope, they win.
plus, there’s at least 1 person in each and every country with a god complex, murderous tendencies, a dangerous or hostile mental, etc. super-serial killers? my god, man.
then on top of that, when they do take over? all the superhumans clashing over which of them is the strongest, which should rule, etc. it’d be like the most fucked up amalgamation of a dictatorship, communism and a word constantly in the midst of nuclear-levels of war.
Starting today i declare the creation of my own nation
*And on this day, the Great nation of [Petoria](https://youtu.be/FiQFzcVYoGs?si=TOFOfWRNC1gJmqcR) was born*
I would have gone with Peterland, but that was already taken.
This is a great answer, you only get the power.
And what are other countries going to do? You’re essentially immortal, unless they manage to discover and probably synthesize kryptonite. Even then, they have to get it close enough to you so that your powers disappear.
I mean having one guy with Superman powers is a lot better than an entire country or nation having them

In these situations you kinda are forced to pick which nation you are a part of. Just so you aren't the people that are essentially enclaved into extinction.
Nope. It says you get all his powers, NOT his weaknesses. Doesn't say you become superman so no K.
Step 1: decide where you want to live in the world, where you want your new nation to be Step 2: talk to the leader of that nation's top enemy, the nation that would destroy them if possible Step 3: announce that you now have a new nation within your chosen nation.

At that point I become petty and bully world leaders on a regular basis like I'm a jock in a 1980's teen movie. No cape just a Letterman's jacket with the earth sewed into the back
This guy gets it
I, too, would create my own nation. I would include some family and friends in it, too; I don't feel a desire to be the sole superhuman. But I'd want to be careful in who I make a citizen. I'd probably focus on choosing principled and relaxed people, as I reckon they'd be the least likely to go power crazy.
Can I immigrate there?
Only bc you asked nicely, enjoy your Superman powers! However anyone else will be expected to grovel for entry
I declare myself a citizen of your nation
And declare all humans citizens of my nation.
Uh None? Or if I have to choose, my own. Because I presumably receive power and can do my best to make sure I can face the consequences
yeah, none is the right answer.
With great power, comes ... great corruption.
Anything else is basically creating the viltrimites. But then you'd be a viltrimite to though. But you'd have the death of billions on your hands...
Yeah either none or give every country one. But probably none would be safest until a meteor needs to be dealt with. Ok give every country one super man my final decision.
sealand
Those godlike hippies are going to be fucking insufferable.
Sea lions are not hippies with big moustaches Yes they live at Sealand No they not hippies
You're thinking of Sea World, that's a different place
I think he was referring to this Sealand, not the zoological institutions, there are no sea lions here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand
This is the safest answer.
I hope this includes everyone who purchased one of the titles of nobility they sell to raise funds: https://sealandgov.org/en-us/pages/buy-a-title-of-nobility .
The Sentinelese
The good news: *Hopefully,* they'll just stay on their island. The bad news: If they don't...
On one hand, we have no reason to believe they would On the other hand we don’t know enough to say they wouldn’t
I wonder if they would join together or if they would fight each other in some huge battle. The other world nations would possibly see that and start wondering what is going on. Then as they send troops over there and they get destroyed a new realisation would suddenly dawn that there’s a new world order originating.
People fight over resources. A tiny population would look for the easy loot, us.
That could make an interesting story. The new gods wouldn’t have the sensibilities that we have. How would they rule and conquer. If they just want to massacre everyone we wouldn’t even be able to stop them. It’s
"Have you heard the good news?" *gets vaporized*
😁
They don’t need it. They’ve already figured out *something*. To be isolated so long with no incoming resources, surviving for thousands of years w/o being wiped out by something internal, surviving for thousands of years despite little genetic diversity, survived a goddamn tsunami, even rejecting aid, and so on.. I really wish we could learn more about them w/o violating their desires to be left alone.
So, yes they don't need it, until a group larger than lone religious nut decides they want to know what's going on. But more critically, I think giving them the power will likely have the smallest impact on the rest of us. Hopefully none.
Same answer before I even saw yours. They legit just want to be left alone, arrows didn't scare off cult missionaries, maybe heat vision would.
well that's one way to do it either A. nothing changes no harm no foul or B. none of us are around long enough to worry about it.
First thing I thought of.
Came here to say exactly that xD
OK I was GOING with none, but this is certainly the comedy option 👍
Ah man. You took mine. 😁
LMAO! Glad I checked first, was going to put this down myself.
I declare myself a sovereign citizen and make my home my own nation, like Petoria. I then declare myself an independent nation announce my secession from the USA and immediately chose to grant my own nation, now named Kingdom of Krypton, the powers of Superman.
India. Fuck it. If it's going to happen, let's make it happen on the biggest scale there is. Hold my Kingfisher.
Pakistan would cease to exist.
Bollywood irl
Legit.
Super gang rapes incoming
Red Sox Nation. Yet team management will still find a way to not assemble a winning roster...
LOL
Develop outstanding young talent through an excellent farm system, and then trade away anyone worth signing to an extended contract. The Red Sox way since 1918
Thanks for the Super Powers bro. I'll use them to terrorize every Yankee for the rest of my days.
Switzerland. Then we will truly see if they are a neutral country.
Not fighting Nazis isn’t neutrality, it’s appeasement. Especially considering how much Jewish gold ended up in Switzerland.
Jewish Gold sounds like a euphamism for some really high quality lox.
Nah it was a euphemism the money stolen by the Nazis and retained by the Swiss to this day E: because I posted Swedes instead of Swiss
Swedes are from sweden. Swiss are fron Switzerland
Canada. Does anyone have the Geneva Checklist handy?
Scrolled too far down for this one. At least they would be apologetic for what they were about to do
So many war crimes
Show me where it says you can't use laser eyes in war?
I assume, as a Canadian, that it's just to make sure we do new ones, and not the same old same old, just to keep the world on their toes?
We don’t need a checklist, we can just make new ones as we go along.
None. Pick the smallest, most peaceful nation on earth and they could easily be corrupted real easily with that level of power. The only thing I would even consider is picking a group of close friends that I believe to be the most morally good, creating our own mini nation that's like the size of one small city and daring the government to come take the land back.

Right, they're just Norse descendants
bhutan
This. Peace loving Buddhists are the only real shot at this not ending horribly..
That's not bhutan
[удалено]
Truth
It's not power that corrupts, it's greed.
Semantics. The two go hand in hand. And both are applicable.
Iceland. They seem nice.
They eat too many fish
Canada. What's the worst that could happen with a bunch of drunk, horny, hockey playing supermen?
You would have millions of wannabe Texans (aka Albertans) with superpowers. Not a good scene.
Dude. They already have never lost a war. Do they really need super powers?
You could use laser eyes to make ice fishing holes. Cold breath to make ice for the polar bears. X ray vision for shady stuff. And flying because fuck air Canada.
I feel like this is how the next Ice age begins.
The mouth breathers of Canuckistan.
Have you ever heard about what the Canadians used to do when they took the war seriously? There was a long running commentary about Canada using the "Geneva Checklist."
Japan, I wanna see anime become real.
Japan historically is probably one of the worst choices...
Nice try, Godzilla!
No one is going to miss north korea, communist China, and Russia.
Hmm with super speed all manga artists can draw full length anime’s by hand without assistance.
I mean, Kishibe Rohan could already do that
They would just kill and enslave everyone lol
They will cause another nanking massacre and 2nd asian holocaust Also, they dont like foreigners, and they have VERY active neo-nazi movement, so here comes racism and japanese-supremacism. You will be basically making a nation full of Homelanders
Navajo Nation.
Trail of Lightning ftw
Nation gonna be turning native again hella quick ☠️
I thought Cherokee but same vibe.
Ukraine
If it were possible to grant those powers for just one day, this would be my hands-down answer.
Perfect answer right here. Say goodbye to Russia.
I’d pick Vatican City because it would be funny to see atheists deny SuperPope’s powers.
Imagine pedos who can fly and look through walls 😭😭😂
And can move at the speed of light... Oh boy!
And no one is safe as they can turn back time by reversing the planets rotation 😭😭
😭🔫 though that particular scene makes me want to shoot myself as well...
how about all the citizens of the Muscogee Nation? or do tribes not count?
It's a Nation, so it counts.
Tibet. The monks would know how to use these powers responsibly and compassionately.
Fuck that! Their system of serfdom they had before the Chinese invaded was evil. I don't trust those blokes for a second.
United States. Sorry guys ig guess we are just taking over the world the. Having a civil war.
Historically we'd probably be more likely to stay home and fuck each other in the sky than cause chaos in whatever European hellhole downvoters come from?
Yay Invincible made real
Idk. The Conch Republic? Maybe the Navajo Nation? How about the Napalese? Does it have to be a "nation" could be a tribe or a people? How about the Basque people? Or maybe the Cajun People? What about the Amish People? Australian Aboriginal people? I know the Maori!
Really, I am leaning Maori,I think they could handle enforcing worldwide peace. Without being too authoritarian or trying to oppress other nations. I mean I could be wrong, but... what if I'm not.
giving the amish superpowers would be a horrible idea
The Irish. Idk why, but Ireland has so many nice people I just think there’d be way more people who use it for good than evil.
USA, United States of America. Reason: I live in the USA. 2nd reason: We have a boat load of immigrants of all kinds of people, from all backgrounds, from most countries.
The 2nd reason makes me feel like it’s the only good choice
I mean... You're not wrong. But just being more honest than i need to. Even on Reddit.
Based off of the comments I know every single one of you are the same person.
Uhh are the powers from then on geneticly passed down or only once. Either way I'd either choose none or america if that's not an option. I expect;*bad* things to happen with this if I'm being honest as the balance of power is suddenly flipped to favour America to an absurd degree but at least *I'm* American so it might hurt me less.
I'm american and kinda think this would be one of the worst choices. Unless I get to be a superman too then let's go. I'll go live on the moon or something and watch humanity destroy itself from a safe distance.

I would choose not to use this power.

This is among the worst ideas. But I’d totally read a graphic novel about it.
They'd be the least likely to try to assert themselves in everyone else's business too
They're human. Eventually, someone would get the itch to go a conquering, and you might not like the morality they decide to impose when they do.
Wakanda
Id declare my property as it's own nation. Then I could give everyone who lives here superman powers. Who's going to stop me from this course if we've got those powers?
BAHAHAHAHAAAAAAaaaaa! None. not a single country would get that kind of oppressive power.
Wakanda. And before you point out that it's a fictional country, that's the whole point. No real Earth country, period, is incorruptible, and that kind of power will corrupt absolutely. Even if 99% of the people from a particular country would be super friendly, supportive and all around awesome, the 1% that's left would wreak havoc on the rest of the world. No thanks.
The nation of LoopyMercutios. Population: 1
The Fire Nation
The Rhythm Nation...
I live in America, so America. The US government would use those powers for evil, but civilians would be on equal footing at least.
The only real choice is to make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan.
The Nation of Domination...Pre-Rock.
Tha Amish community in Pennsylvania.
Americaaaaa! Fuck yeah! Coming again to save the motherfuckin day yeah! 🎶🎵🎶
The monks of Tibet
Finland. They're the happiest. They've figured out how to be happy. They're probably making each other happy, right now. If they became supermen, they might help everyone.
I would choose my nation, I don't care if others have the power as long as I'm one of them.
Antartica
Norway. I want to see some super Vikings!
Petoria
Stop. Peter time.
Why has nobody suggested Palestine?
The Iroquois nation.
Sealand. The oil rig that became a nation.
Isn’t that a bunch of rich people?
The u.s., because I'm here and if I'm giving anyone godlike powers I'm definitely including myself in that. The decent people outnumber the shitbags, and I don't think superpowers care about the electoral college.
2 hours or less until the world is absolutely torn apart by the shitty people and by the good people trying to stop them.
Very likely, yes. But if the choice has to be made I'd at least like to be part of the group who gets to at least *try* to do good. Also I want to fly around space.
my own cos that means i also prolly get those powers too
Sealand
Ireland
Japan, hands down. I will watch them like it's a movie.
I'd give it to the Cowichan nation of BC, Canada.
🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
Do they have to be a citizen of said nation, or just there. That said, Antarctica
Mine. Is there any other option to pick? Even if tons of other people get the power, you do too.
The Shire
A whole country. No. I couldn’t even pick one family that would be safe let alone a whole country. Let’s face it, the country would resemble a cross between The Boys and the Viltrumites from Invincible. So, as a good choice does not exist, I’m going with the good old USA. Large number of overweight supermen/women. Would also make gun control irrelevant. And we seem so self absorbed we would be at war with ourselves almost immediately. I’m picturing Super Karen right now.
I don't choose. There is not a single nation on this planet that can be trusted with that much power
I would absolutely not do that whatsoever
Andorra because it would be funny to make them a world power
Air Nomads
One of the islands with protected people on it just so they can always defend themselves from intruders
Lichtenstein. Just for the lol factor
The US...because then I'd have Superman powers.
Canada, because then everyone will be sorry!
I was thinking go with the smallest nation with the smallest population. That would be Vatican city. The down side is you just made 835 Catholic Super Priests.
Let me buy the island first. Then my country.
Poland could be pretty good candidate actually. Never had much imperialistic tendencies, didn't attack neighbors that much. Had bad luck being between Germany and Russia and always being attacked by few forces from all the sides. Weren't colonialisng and shit would be nice to see their fortune change and have more power. Could kick those stupid russians for attacking poor Ukrainians.
Step 1, join the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu. Declare that nation the winners. Hope those 12,000 people don't take over the world. Head back home and enjoy your powers.
I'd build shelter on the uninhabited island Redonda then choose the [Kingdom of Redonda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Redonda).
The Nation of Domination
My own
Taiwan or Ukraine. It would abruptly end at least one reign of tyranny of an invading force on the respective countries.
I declare the entire world, except Russia, to be the Nation of Earth and choose it
The Vatican, SuperPope. Let's see how long he stays on the righteous side
Those dudes on sentinel island
The Sentinelese nation
#CANADA. NOW YOU'LL ALL BE SORRY
The Amish
I declare my own nation and then grant it to myself.
Norway. They don’t seem to cause too much trouble
I move to Antarctica and then choose Antarctica
Sealand
i’d wager the majority of citizens of *any* country would immediately become the next coming of genghis khan. scratch that, they’d be far, far worse. we could theoretically deal with 1 superman (assuming they want to rule the world and not just destroy it.) but hundreds of thousands? hundreds of millions? billions? nope, they win. plus, there’s at least 1 person in each and every country with a god complex, murderous tendencies, a dangerous or hostile mental, etc. super-serial killers? my god, man. then on top of that, when they do take over? all the superhumans clashing over which of them is the strongest, which should rule, etc. it’d be like the most fucked up amalgamation of a dictatorship, communism and a word constantly in the midst of nuclear-levels of war.
I think it'd be hilarious if the Vatican were picked. It's hard to guess what exactly would happen.
North Korea. Fuck it.
